Mentors: Using Student Learning & Licensure

Student Learning & Licensure (SL&L) is the College of Education’s platform for managing student assessments, clinical experiences, placements, internships, and other program activities. This page provides information to help you access and navigate SL&L, complete the activities associated with your role, and find tutorials and support when you need them.

Getting Started

How do I log into SL&L?

Most mentors will receive an email with a direct link to SL&L when a placement is confirmed. This link provides direct access to SL&L without requiring you to enter a password. Save this link for future access.

You can also log in to SL&L at mentor.sll.pdx.edu using the work email address provided to us. If you have never logged in to SL&L before or have forgotten your password, select Forgot Password on the SL&L login page after entering your work email address. You will receive an email with a link to set up a password.  Once the password is set up, you can log in to mentor.sll.pdx.edu in the future to access your student assessments.
