The Ementoring Portal
When the ementoring programme begins,
you will be sent details of how to log in to the
ementoring portal by email. You’ll also be sent
a link to a video showing you how to use the
ementoring portal.
The ementoring portal will allow you to
contact your ementor and the RO Central
Team safely and easily. It also contains lots of
useful activities and resources that you’ll find
invaluable when researching university life,
career options, and study skills.
How will 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 2017 and end in December
2017, 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 right up until you
receive your A level results.
To help get your relationship
with your ementor off to the
best start make sure you
introduce yourself to your
ementor the first time you log
in to the ementoring portal. Key
things to include in your first
message are:
• Your first name
• What you’re currently studying
• Where you’re at with thinking
about university (even if you
haven’t started thinking about
this yet!)
You will get the most out
of ementoring if you keep
in touch with your ementor
regularly and ask them lots of
questions. Your ementor has
been through the university
application process and is
very knowledgeable about
university life so make the most
of this support!
