Intended Audience: Mentors
About
The Mentor Dashboards in Brightspace provide a centralized location for mentors to monitor the enrollment status and progress of the students they support. This tool offers a clear, at-a-glance summary of student activity, including who has completed, dropped, or is still enrolled in courses—as well as who has yet to complete the Student Orientation. This guide outlines how a mentor can access the dashboards, understand the layout, and interact with the data.
Instruction
Login into the SLP
- Access the Student Learning Portal (SLP) and select the MySLP tab.
- Tap Go to Courses, then choose "Michigan Virtual (Brightspace)" from the list.

- Tap the Data Reports button.
- Open the left menu and select Mentor Dashboards.
Understanding the Dashboard Cards
Below the summary section, mentors will find interactive data cards that display information by student enrollment status:
- Orientation Incomplete (PR - M - 22-23 Orientation Incomplete): Shows students who have not completed the Student Orientation Course.
- In Progress Enrollments (PR - M - In Progress Enrollments): Lists students who are actively participating in one or more courses. The Name column displays the course titles currently in progress.
- Dropped Enrollments (PR - M - Dropped Enrollments): Displays students who have withdrawn from one or more courses. Includes course title details.
- Completed Enrollments (PR - M - Completed Enrollments): Lists students who have successfully completed their courses.
Each of these cards allows mentors to view the most current data for their assigned students.
Interacting with the Dashboard
Mentors can filter the displayed results to focus on specific students or courses:
- To refine the view, select a student name or course title directly within any card.
- The dashboard will refresh and show only the data related to the selected item.
This interactivity enables mentors to track student progress more efficiently and take action when needed—whether offering additional support, following up on dropped courses, or celebrating completed enrollments.

Each dashboard card includes a Card Options menu, accessed by hovering over the card and selecting the wrench icon in the top-right corner. Available actions include:
