What services are available for PROJECT MENTOR students during the Academic year?

Mentoring

Each Project Mentor student is assigned to a specified mentor who meets with the student weekly, by appointment. Mentor sessions include academic advisement, schedule adjustments, tutoring and career development. Mentors help students negotiate accommodations based on their specific disability. Mentors also provide counseling regarding specific issues for students with learning disabilities. Our list of mentors can be found on the Staff/Mentors page.

Professional Tutorial

Tutors are professionals who are trained and skilled to tutor students with learning disabilities by being adaptable and supportive. The schedule for the current semester can be found on the Tutorial Schedule page.
