Mentors and instructors may review assigned student progress, provide feedback, recommend remediation or advancement, help with project preparation, and support capstone review.

Mentors and instructors may not guarantee advancement, employment, or fellowship placement, make unauthorized private arrangements with students, move communications with minors off-platform without approval, or use student data for personal purposes.
