    Study Mentors

    Study mentors can provide academic encouragement and support for students. 

    • Their role may include:

      • encouraging students academically;
      • helping students with academic writing skills (including proofreading) and exam preparation;
      • keeping students accountable re due dates and Unit completion;
      • helping students set and assess study goals;
      • helping students maintain priorities and study/personal/ministry/work balance;
      • communicating to the College re issues that could impact or are impacting a student's study;
      • praying with and for students regarding their study;
      • being an exam supervisor for online units or exams taken off campus.

       
      Choosing a Study Mentor

      • Degree and Graduate students may find it advantageous to have a Study Mentor with tertiary education who understands the demands of tertiary study.
      • A Study Mentor is not expected to provide intensive academic support.
      • A Study Mentor is not expected to provide specific spiritual or ministry formation guidance.
      • Note that mentors will not receive monetary payment from Morling College. If you would like to pay your mentor, this is a private arrangement between yourself and your mentor.

      Study Mentors are:

      Highly Recommended for:

      • students starting online study (no matter when in their Award progression) ;
      • students starting full time study (no matter when in their Award progression);
      • students unfamiliar with Tertiary Study;
      • students who have experienced difficulty in their studies;
      • Diploma students;
      • NESB students and overseas students.

      *at times the Student Services team may indicate that having a study mentor is compulsory as part of your study program and progression.
