This is not was written there:
Mentors who do not renew within the specified period will be unable to access the following features:

Duty Roulette: Mentor
The ability to change online status to “PvE Mentor,” “PvP Mentor,” or “Trade Mentor.”

They will, however, still be able to participate in the Novice Network chat channel. An icon will indicate that they are a mentor who has yet to renew their certification.
