Student Mentoring Program

Opportunities to develop connections that aid in personal and professional growth

The current high school education system is highly selective, so students may enter university without having completed all the mathematics and science courses that it requires. This program matches senior students (mentors) with first-year undergraduate students (mentees) to provide academic assistance with courses in mathematics and science, for which the mentee does not have the prerequisites. The mentor helps to lessen the mentee’s academic burden, and provides general advice to help the mentee adapt to campus life.

Selection Period

March and September each year (per semester)

How It Works

  • STEP 01

    Mentee and Mentor Applications

    Receiving applications from undergraduate first-year students to be mentees and applications for being a mentor to undergraduate third-year or higher students at the same time.

  • STEP 02

    Mentoring Sessions

    One mentor serves three to four mentees who take the same courses, and provides starts mentoring activities in study places like the Group Study Room at the Tae-Joon Park Digital Library.

  • STEP 03

    Completion of a Session Log for Each Meeting

    Mentoring classes are held for more than two hours per class, four times per month, over the period of three months. After each class, class records should be filled in by mentors.

Basic Direction

  • Mentors and mentees are selected on the basis of GPA, subject grades and SMP results.
  • After checking class records, which are to be filled in after every class, a certain amount of scholarship is granted to mentors every month.
  • The mentees who withdrew from registered subjects and mentors who did not participate actively in the latest semester cannot be selected again.
  • According to the analytic results on the class performance (satisfaction degree), if some mentors and mentees are found to be problematic, they are likely to be placed at a disadvantage - an unfavorable disposition for the scholarship as well as the mentor-mentee selection in the following semester.
