The Student Mentor Program is about students helping students.

It connects students who are undertaking their first study session at Southern Cross University with other students who are further along in the same course or discipline.

This helps the new student settle in to university life quickly and successfully.

New students

Student Mentoring is open to all new undergraduate students at Southern Cross University, to help you settle in to your first session of study at SCU. You will be matched with a student mentor who has 'been there and done that'; someone who can answer your questions about how things happen at SCU.

A Student Mentor is another student who has volunteered to help you, and has received training from the University. With a Student Mentor you will:

• get the support of someone who's successfully completed their first year of study here,
• find out about student support services available and how to access them,
• get help to understand university processes.

Student Mentors

If you have completed at least your first year of study at Southern Cross University you can apply to become a Student Mentor. You'll develop your leadership and communication skills, enhance your CV and help your fellow students.

Face-to-face and on-line mentoring opportunities are available to on-campus and distance students. As a Student Mentor you will:

• receive mentor training from the University,
• be presented with a Training Certificate & Mentoring Certificate,
• enjoy supportive relationships with university staff and students,
• increase your knowledge of student support and university processes.
