Information for current study support mentors
Once you have started your assignment as a study support mentor, there are a few things you need to be aware of. On this page we have gathered important information about what you need to know and do during your assignment, such as how the administration works.
Complete an assignment agreement
For study support mentors to be registered to receive fees, an agreement must be completed. The mentor coordinator sends out the agreement via email in connection with the start-up meeting when the semester’s assignment begins.
Remember that the assignment only lasts for one semester. If you wish to continue your mentor assignment in the upcoming semester, you must notify the mentor coordinator.
Join the mentors' meeting
There is one mentors' meeting offered each semester, in which we discuss questions related to the mentorship assignment.
Mentors' meeting autumn 2025
The autumn 2025 mentors' meeting will take place on 26 November.
Invitations to the mentors' meeting are sent out by e-mail approximately 1-2 weeks in advance. You are also always welcome to contact the mentor coordinator if you have questions about the assignment.
Send in confirmations of the assignment
During the semester, you will receive an email requiring you to confirm that the mentorship assignment is ongoing, in accordance with the earlier agreement. This means that you meet regularly, on average two hours a week. The emails are sent out four times per semester and a response is required as soon as possible to ensure proper registration.
These confirmations make up the basis for the fee payment and will be used for accounting purposes. It is very important that the confirmations are submitted to ensure that fees are paid out.
Please note: Both study support mentors and students are obliged to inform the mentor coordinator if you do not have regular meetings every week, if the student fails to attend meetings or if the assignment ends for any other reason.
Register your bank account to get paid
In order for the fee to be paid directly into your bank account, you need to register your account with Swedbank.
The payment of fees occurs after the semester is complete, given that the agreement and the confirmations have been submitted. Together, these also form the basis for deciding the size of the fee.
Calculate your fee
The fee for the semester is SEK 4,800 before tax in those cases where the mentoring assignment has continued throughout the semester. In other cases, the fee is calculated according to the percentage of the semester the assignment has covered. The scope is divided into 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the semester, see below.
Fees before tax for assistants and study support mentors at Lund University, per semester:
- 100% of 20 weeks: SEK 4,800
- 75% of 20 weeks: SEK 3,600
- 50% of 20 weeks: SEK 2,400
- 25% of 20 weeks: SEK 1,200
The fee levels above are approved and will be applied from 10 August 2022.
