Mentorship Rules & Regulations

* in sports-related administrative/supervisory capacity

Prerequisites for the Mentorship

• Request for Mentorship form from the Mentorship Handbook (Appendix C)
• Mentorship Site Information form from the Mentorship Handbook (Appendix D)
• A copy of the proposed mentor’s diplomas or transcript **
• A copy of the proposed mentor’s resume or curriculum vita
• Mentorship Learning Objectives and Duties (which students and proposed mentors put together). Students must have a minimum of six objectives and the mentors must initial each. Students may have as many as they feel can be accomplished. These must be formatted like the example in the handbook. Learning Objectives should encompass something from each course in order to present a well-rounded mentorship experience.

** If proposed mentors do not have the required degree, but have enough experience, students can try obtaining approval by submitting a Request for Exception form and providing justification for the selection.

Guidelines for Writing Learning Objectives:

• Learning Objectives should be formatted as in the Mentorship Handbook, i.e. each objective should list the objective, measurement tool and expected outcome.
• Learning Objectives must be written in an active tense as opposed to a passive tense, i.e., performing a tangible task instead of an intangible or immeasurable task.
• There is a minimum requirement of six Learning Objectives.
• Ideally, (but this is not always possible) the Learning Objectives should encompass a task from each course in the program.
