For universities & alumni networks
Put every student one intro away from someone who’s done it
Alumni want to give back. They just need it to be easy. Mentornity handles applications, matching, scheduling across time zones, and gives students a structure they can actually follow.
Free to start · No credit card · Setup in minutes
A structured session: brief, questions, and notes, so students always know the next step.
Student mentoring software connects students with alumni or senior-student mentors under a university, school, or scholarship program: collecting applications, matching by field of study and career interest, structuring sessions, and documenting outcomes. Mentornity is used by university and access programs, including the University of Basel.

Why campus programs fizzle
Interest ≠ participation
Hundreds sign up at the fair; dozens meet. Application forms with auto-accept rules, reminders, and structured first sessions convert interest into meetings.
Students don’t know what to ask
A blank “talk to a mentor” invitation intimidates. Session topics like CV review, field choices and first internship give every meeting a purpose.
Alumni goodwill burns out
Ask an alum to “mentor someone” and you get one meeting. Give them published office hours, capped mentees, and reminders, and they stay for years.
Campus-ready out of the box
And 50% off for universities, schools, and student programs, because mentoring budgets are real.
Public application forms
Separate mentor and mentee applications with your questions. Auto-accept, review manually, or close, with a pending-applications inbox.
Field & interest matching
Match on faculty, target industry, languages, or anything you collect. Mandatory rules guarantee constraints like shared language.
Structured semesters
A six-session arc from icebreaker to mock interview. Date windows per session keep cohorts moving together.
Certificates that verify
Auto-issue completion certificates with public verification pages and one-click “Add to LinkedIn profile”. Rules decide who qualifies.
Cross-time-zone scheduling
Alumni in three continents, students on campus: availability respects everyone’s time zone and connected calendars.
Safety & oversight
Admins see meetings, notes, and messages per program settings; agreements gate entry; support requests reach staff, identity-masked.

Frequently asked questions
How do universities run alumni mentoring with Mentornity?
Universities publish application forms for alumni mentors and student mentees, match them by field of study and career interest with rule-based scoring, structure the semester as sessions, and track meetings and feedback. Completion certificates with public verification close the loop.
Is there an education discount?
Yes. Universities, schools, alumni, and student programs get 50% off paid plans, and programs with up to 10 users are free.
How are students matched with alumni?
By the rules you define: same faculty, target industry match, shared language as a mandatory rule, and any custom fields you collect at application. The algorithm scores every pair; staff approve in a side-by-side comparison view. Self-selection is also supported if you prefer students choosing mentors.
Can students get certificates for completing the program?
Yes. Certificates are rule-based (complete specific sessions and forms, or a minimum number of meetings plus feedback), issued in one click, emailed with a public verification page, and shareable to LinkedIn under Licenses & Certifications.
How does Mentornity keep student mentoring safe?
Entry is gated by versioned agreements, meeting notes and messaging visibility are configurable per program, support requests reach staff with identity masking, and admins can oversee activity throughout. Data handling is GDPR-compliant with the right to erasure.
Do alumni abroad create scheduling chaos?
No. Mentors publish availability in their own time zone; students see it in theirs. Connected Google or Outlook calendars block busy hours, and video links generate automatically.
