How to request a connection

Once you’re enrolled in a programme, you can start connecting with mentors and coaches in that programme by following these steps:

  1. Log in to https://elevate.suss.edu.sg.

  2. Click on Journey in the top navigation bar and select Search Mentors/Coaches. You will only see users who are in the same programme(s) as you. 

Notes
🏅 Recommended Mentors/Coaches:
Some mentors/coaches will appear with a “Recommended” label. This is based on how complete their profile is — those who have filled in more details (e.g. experience, skills, education) are shown as highly recommended to help you make informed choices.

  1. Identify a mentor/coach you'd like to connect with and click View Profile to learn more about them. 

  2. When you're ready, click Request to Connect

  3. Select the relevant programme from the dropdown. 

    Alert
    🔎 Connections are programme-specific. If you want to book mentorship slots with a mentor under a particular programme, you must select that programme during connection.

  4. Click Request to send the connection request.  

  5. (Optional) You can also send a personal message along with your request or use the chat function to speak with the mentor/coach beforehand by clicking on Send a Message.

    Info
    ⏳ Please allow the mentor or coach 3–4 working days to respond to your request. If you do not hear back, you can submit a ticket through the Knowledge Base for assistance.
