"The SI leaders were very helpful in clearing up the material in class that I had trouble understanding.

I would not have done nearly as well as I did without the SI sessions."

Supplemental Instruction takes a unique approach to academic support. Rather than targeting students who are at high risk, the program identifies high risk courses, mostly those taken by beginning students. All students in these courses have the option of attending study sessions led by SI leaders who have already successfully completed the course and are currently attending the class.

The goal of SI is to help students in historically difficult classes master course content while they develop and integrate learning and study strategies. Generally, SI students earn higher course grades and persist in courses at a higher rate than non-SI participants.

Supplemental Instruction is available for selected courses.  In addition, study groups are offered for some courses in which an SI session was not able to meet.
