What is a Student Mentor?

RMIT UP has a strong peer and study buddy mentoring program. Mentoring is about more experienced students helping and supporting other students. It is a process to help students connect with other students and share their experience, knowledge, and stories. 

Our RMIT UP Mentors are current Foundation Studies students who offer study buddy mentoring and current students from RMIT University who offer peer mentoring. 

RMIT UP mentoring takes place through the digital platform Vygo.
