Mentoring programme that involves mentors and mentees is a creative approach to help mentees strengthen their learning and leadership skills, fostering their academic performance and inspiring them to develop their future careers. The aim of mentoring programme is basically to assist students in developing their learning environment to the maximum which can help to improve their academic performance. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of mentoring programme on students' academic performance at a private university. It was a cross-sectional study involving 211 students. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of demographic details, general perceptions on mentoring programme, academic support, and mentor's characteristics was distributed. The data was analysed using the SPSS software. The results of the study showed that the respondents agreed that the mentoring programme has assisted students in fostering their academic performance. However, the study revealed that only mentee's perception and mentor's characteristics contributed to the prediction of the influence on students' academic performance. Therefore, the study concludes that mentee's perceptions and mentor's characteristics are the key successful factors of the mentoring programme in fostering students' academic performance.
