Supplemental Instruction (SI)

Supplemental Instruction is an academic assistance program that utilizes peer-assisted study sessions for historically difficult courses. The SI sessions are regularly-scheduled informal study sessions, in which students learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together. The sessions are facilitated by trained SI leaders, students who have previously taken the courses and done well in them. In addition to facilitating the study sessions, SI leaders attend the lectures, take notes, and serve as model students. The main purpose of this program is to improve students’ grades and increase student graduation rates.
