What will you do?
You must log onto the ementoring portal
at least once a week
.
You must respond to any messages
your ementor has sent you and
complete any activities they set you.
You should regularly update your progress
on the RO Programme using the
skills
tracker
on the ementoring portal.
Ementoring Portal
When it is time for you to start the ementoring
programme, you will be emailed with your log-in
details and a narrated screencast video. This
video will guide you through the ementoring portal
and how to use it. It is important you watch this
video so that you can get the best out of the portal
and all the different features it offers RO students!
Howwill ementoring help you?
Ementoring will give you:
A better understanding of applying to
higher education and the UCAS process.
Support with your UCAS application
and personal statement.
Support during exam periods and advice
on revision and exam techniques.
Guidance with the skills4uni module and test.
A chance to ask questions about what it is like
to be a student at a research intensive university.
Advice about student finance, choosing
a course and choosing a university.
Ongoing ementoring support
The RO ementoring programme will begin for
you in February 2016 and end in December 2016,
but if you wish to continue after that you will still
have access to an ementor. This will allow you
to continue to access support, information and
advice until you receive your A level results.
The fact I had an ementor gave
the programme a personal touch. I
could hear all about my ementor’s
university experiences!
