Ementoring
While you are taking part in RO, you will be supported by an ementor.
Your ementor will be a university student and will work through a
programme of useful topics with you.
What is ementoring?
As part of the RO Programme you will be
matched with a current student from one of
the RO universities. They will be your ementor
throughout your time on RO and support you
while you are taking part in the programme.
Ementoring gives you the opportunity to talk
to someone who is already at university and
to receive support at key times throughout the
year.
Your ementor will:
• Work through an ementoring programme
of useful topics with you and answer any
questions or queries you have about
applying to university, university life, exam
techniques, revision, study skills and much
more.
• Send you regular messages to give you
updates and information about RO. You will
have access to a secure online portal where
you can send messages to your ementor.
• Support you with the skills4uni element of
the RO Programme.
You need to:
• Log onto the ementoring portal at least
once a week.
• Reply to any messages your ementor sends
you and keep them up to date with your
progress throughout the programme.
• Tell your ementor when you are ready to
take the skills4uni test.
• Make the most of the support they offer
you and ask them as many questions as
you can about the topics they work through
with you.
• Use the resources and activities available to
you on the ementoring portal and discuss
these with your ementor!
