CHHS Peer Mentoring Program
There are many benefits to engaging in a peer mentoring program, for both mentees (those receiving mentoring) and mentors (those providing mentoring)! Mentees are provided support to grow their academic skills, connect with campus resources, and foster a sense of belonging. Mentors have the opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills while guiding and supporting first-year students through all the facets of higher education.
Mentee Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to be selected as a mentee to receive one-on-one mentoring and support in the Spring 2026 CHHS Peer Mentoring cohort, students must meet the following requirements:
- Be an undergraduate student at MSU Denver who started in Fall 2025 or Spring 2026;
- Be enrolled in Spring 2026 courses;
- Have less than 60 credits complete (including transfer credits)
The application to receive one-on-one mentoring and support is located within the CHHS First Year Resource Hub in Canvas. Students are added to this Canvas course during their first semester at MSU Denver and remain in the course through their first year at MSU Denver. If you have questions about applying for one-on-one mentoring, please contact Cole Parsa, Recruitment and Retention Specialist, at [email protected].
Mentor Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to be selected as a mentor in the Spring 2026 CHHS Peer Mentoring cohort, students must meet the following requirements:
- Completed at least 2 semesters at MSU Denver prior to Spring 2026;
- Registered for Spring 2026 classes;
- Be in good academic standing at MSU Denver with a cumulative GPA of 2.20 or higher;
- 60+ credit hours earned (junior or senior standing);
- Submit a Spring 2026 Mentor Application by February 20, 2026
This is an on campus hourly position, so if you have another on campus job your hours for that job plus peer mentoring hours cannot exceed 30 hours per week. Mentors will be paid $20 per hour for their work in the program.
As a Peer Mentor, your role will consist of helping incoming students navigate the University, by helping to provide helpful insight and support in the CHHS First-Year Resource Hub in Canvas, engaging in discussion posts and questions, assisting with drop-in registration support and monthly workshops, and scheduling and facilitating meetings with student mentees one-on-one as requested. Mentors may also have opportunities to participate in recruitment events such as specialty campus visits and high school student outreach.
Additional Resources
General Studies Holds
All students following the catalog year Fall 2012 and later are required to complete the Written Communication (ENG 1010 or 1009); Quantitative Literacy, and Oral Communication requirements in the first 30-college level credits and ENG 1020 by 45-credit hours. Students who do not meet these requirements will begin to have registration holds applied to their accounts, which can be removed after students review the policy. If you have questions regarding these holds or policies, please contact your advisor.
