About
Assigning a local mentor is critical for a student’s success and is a requirement under the Michigan Department of Education’s (MDE) Pupil Accounting Manual. Affiliation users can locate students who do not have an assigned mentor through several methods within the Student Learning Portal (SLP).
Important: If a mentor is not assigned within 48 hours of enrollment, Michigan Virtual will automatically assign the enroller as the student’s mentor.
