The Student Mentoring Program is all about students helping students.
It connects students who are undertaking their first semester of study at Southern Cross University with other students who are further along in the same course or discipline. This helps the new student (on-campus or distance study) to successfully settle in to university life more quickly and there is no charge involved! New students Student Mentoring is open to all new undergraduate students at Southern Cross University, to help you 'survive and thrive' in your first semester. We'll match you with someone who's 'been there and done that'. Someone who can answer your questions about how things happen here. 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 'survived' 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 MentorsIf you have completed at least your first year of study at Southern Cross University you can apply to become a Student Mentor.

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