The Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics undergraduate program at the ``Universidad Autonoma de Zacatecas`` (UAZ) has a high-quality curriculum, recognized both nationally and internationally. One of the key aspects to maintain this quality is to maintain a high terminal efficiency in the program, which implies paying special attention to the intermediate indicators of inter-semester promotion, graduation, and graduation. In addition to complying with formal curricular activities, mentoring programs are implemented to prevent dropout and support the achievement of the aforementioned objectives. These mentorships seek to obtain curricular recognition and provide institutional support to outstanding students who academically support their peers at risk of falling behind. The research describes the stages, characteristics, rights and obligations of the student mentor; using a qualitative methodology. The literature review is based on theoretical contributions on the interrelationships between mentoring actors, and an analysis is carried out on how educational models must incorporate these actions for their institutional recognition in the future.
