SI

Supplemental Instruction (SI) at the Learning Center

SI is an academic support program designed for high-risk and/or historically-difficult courses. An SI leader—a student who has successfully completed the course and has been trained in providing academic support—will attend and engage in your class meetings. SI leaders hold regularly scheduled, voluntary, out-of-class study sessions throughout the semester. These sessions include activities and materials that will help you study more effectively and engage in course information in a new and different way.

Common Questions

You will have to study for this class anyway: why not study with someone who has already taken the class and performed very well in it? You also get the opportunity to meet with others from your class, to share notes, and to receive supplemental handouts (like study guides and practice tests) that you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise.

Students who attend SI study sessions typically earn better course grades than those who do not attend.

Your SI leader will share this information during the first week of class. 
Your books, notes, assignments, and other pertinent material from the class.
You are not required to attend SI study sessions. If your schedule will not permit you to attend the study sessions or office hours, please speak with your SI leader about the possibility for other arrangements.
Your SI leader will be able to provide the best academic support for you because he/she knows exactly what is going on in your class. However, individualized tutoring is available at the Learning Center.
Our advice is to attend one study session to see if this service is useful for you.
