Undergraduate Welcome Program
Peer Mentoring Platform
The FASS Undergraduate Welcome Program is the official orientation program to help first-year undergraduate students prepare for the semester and begin their journey in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS).
As a part of the FASS Welcome Program, peer mentoring helps support first-year students through a sense of community and belonging, while also providing a rewarding opportunity for senior students to develop their leadership skills through the role of Peer Mentor.
The FASS Welcome Program begins with FASS Undergraduate Welcome Day, where mentors will meet first-years on campus. From there, mentors and first-years stay connected until Week 6 of the semester, with more social activities and skills workshops to enjoy throughout!
This Peer Mentoring Platform (PMP) is where mentors and first-year mentees will be matched in the week before Welcome Day.
How do I join the FASS Undergraduate Welcome Program?
If you are a newly enrolled undergraduate student in FASS for Semester 2, 2025, please register via the University's Welcome Planner. Registrations close Monday 21 July, 2025.
After we receive your registration via the planner, we will provide you details about your account on this Peer Mentoring Platform. Please do not sign up for an account on this page, as this may lead to access issues.
After logging into your PMP account, you will be required to complete your mentee profile, so that we can match you with your Peer Mentor who you will meet on Welcome Day.
