ACADEMIC RESOURCE
MENTORING
(ARMS)
What is the ARMS program?

Academic Resource Mentors
Academic Resource Mentors (ARMs) are
paraprofessionals that address students' unique
academic concerns to guide them in achieving
academic excellence.
ARMs focus on student growth and empower
them to become self-directed learners that
understand their academic responsibilities.

Who are the mentors?

We are upper-class students who are successful
academically, involved in campus life, and have a
desire to help college students successfully
manage their transition to UNCP.

What do the Mentors do?

We serve as a first year advocates, are guides to
campus resources, host workshops, work one on
one with students to assist in study skills as well
as basic adjustment to college and serve as a
role model for academic, co-curricular and
leadership behaviors.

The need for ARMS

Students who struggle academically may need a
little push. Why not start with a mentor from a
UNCP student?!

All students deserve to be successful in college.
Circumstances may arise, but it does not have to
be the end of their journey!
