Upload your signed agreement in the Orientation step titled ["Upload Signed Mentor Agreement" under section 11](https://www.cbtspathway.org/student_lesson/show/1059754?lesson_id=5726090&section_id=18456767).

Please note that after you enter your proctor's information in Pathway, you are all set. You should not expect a confirmation or approval notification.
