Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that utilizes peer-assisted study sessions. SI sessions are regularly scheduled, informal review group sessions in which students compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and predict test items. All students are encouraged to attend SI sessions, as it is a voluntary program. The group sessions are facilitated by SI Leaders, who attend all class lectures, take notes, and integrate course content and study skills while working together. SI is a free service offered to all students in a targeted course. Supplemental instruction is a non-remedial approach to learning as the program targets high-risk courses rather than high-risk students.
