Mentorship Services

Just started university? Have plenty of questions on your mind and don’t know who to
ask them to? Having difficulties adjusting to the university life? Then you came to the
right place.

What is the Engineering Mentorship Program?

The main purpose of this program is to support students in their studies and with their
transition to the university life. The mentor helps students by guiding them and
answering their questions.

Any student at the Faculty of Engineering can use this service. And, best of all, this
service is completely free of charge and available 24 hours a day.

What is a mentor?

Most importantly, a mentor is a student like you. The mentor is actually a 4th year
student from the Faculty of Engineering who has been in the same position as you are.
Therefore the mentor understands your difficulties and can suggest solutions for them.
The mentor is a good listener and is at your disposal to provide the support needed to
succeed in your studies.

How can I use the service?

There are several ways of using the service. Firstly, you can visit the Virtual Campus
website created for this service (accessible through your InfoWeb account). The website
will give you access to several tools such as, a discussion forum, study guides and tons of
useful information.

You can also meet the mentor in person (please check the website for details).
And finally, you can email the mentor at: engineering.mentor@uottawa.ca
