Student Guidelines

I respect my mentor's time, and I promise to keep my e-mails short and to the point.

I will try to keep requests for expedited responses to a minimum.

I realize the relationship between myself and my mentor is professional and that our communications should remain private.

When venting frustration or concern, I will not use profanity, make derogatory remarks, or specify names of people or entities in my communications.

I will notify my mentor when I am unavailable to receive/send e-mails.

I understand and acknowledge that any views, opinions, guidance or remarks of my mentor are specific to him/her and may not reflect the views, opinions, guidance or remarks of the National Court Reporters Association or any other professional associations.

I promise to abide by the guidelines, or any other guidelines in the future, adopted by the National Court Reporters Association Virtual Mentoring Program. If I fail to adhere to these guidelines, I understand and agree that my name may be removed from the mentoring list.

I understand that the assignment of mentors is voluntary. If my mentor elects to discontinue his/her participation in the Virtual Mentoring Program, and I desire to be assigned another mentor, I may choose another mentor through the NCRA Virtual Mentoring Program or request reassignment via e-mail: virtualmentor@ncrahq.org.
