• At the end of your activities as a student guide, you will receive a confirmation (certificate) of your voluntary engagement.

• The Student Counseling Service does not guarantee every student guide will receive an assignment. In return, you are only expected to act as a student guide when it suits your schedule and workload. You should, however, be willing to take assignments a few times each semester.

• Each semester, at least one information event about being a student guide that you should attend, if you want to take up this task; it will keep you up to date on this volunteer opportunity.

If you fulfil the requirements and you are interested:

• Please send us an email that briefly describes your personal and academic background and your motivation to becoming an Ohm student guide.

• We will contact you and, if appropriate, invite you to an informal meeting to get to know one another. We will also share more information about being a student guide and the conditions. Of course, your questions are welcome!

• If both parties are in agreement, we will be pleased to have your support!
