What is Supplemental Instruction?
Supplemental instruction (SI) is a group-based approach to learning that supports students in their journey toward academic success by integrating “what to learn” with “how to learn.” SI consists of regularly scheduled out-of-class group study sessions. Trained SI leaders facilitate these sessions and use collaborative activities to ensure student-to-student interaction. SI is implemented in traditionally challenging courses at Rockhurst and is a free service offered to all students in a targeted course. You are encouraged to attend SI sessions throughout the semester.
Supplemental Instruction FAQs
Where/when is my SI session? ▼
View the current schedule of classes on the Supplemental Instruction tab. Schedules are typically posted during the second week of classes.
When should I attend SI? ▼
Right away. It is best to attend SI sessions regularly to maximize the benefit of attending. Studies show that students who attended SI sessions regularly have a half-letter grade or a whole letter grade higher than those who do not attend.
Does SI really work? ▼
Yes! Over 40 years of research at hundreds of institutions internationally have verified that attending SI sessions helps students improve grades in the targeted course, increase their GPA, and improve their likelihood of graduating.
Fall 2026 Supplemental Instruction Classes
If your course offers Supplemental Instruction (SI), you will find your SI Leader and session days, times, and locations below. All sessions and office hours are typically one hour long unless otherwise noted.
Note: Session times and locations are subject to change, so please contact your SI Leader or professor if you are unsure of where/when your SI sessions will meet. Some in-person sessions may be virtual if necessary due to illness or weather. The best place to get up-to-date information is your course Canvas site or your SI Leader themselves.
