What type of documentation do I need to provide?

To qualify for an SPS-mentor, you need to provide medical documentation that describes the disability in question.

What does SPS-mentoring include?

SPS-mentoring are support-lessons, in which students recieve support in planning and getting an overview of their weekly schedule, homework, and social engagements. This way, the student will get help to achieve a sense of structure, time-management, and study skills. SPS-mentoring is not equivalent to private tutoring.

AT BG we collaborate with the ’SPS-vejleder’. They are our SPS-mentors and work hard to help our students. You will be contacted by a mentor from ”SPS-vejlederne” via Lectio or mobile number.

The number of hours needed and frequency of meetings is decided through a mutual agreement made between the student and mentor.
