Supplemental Instruction
We welcome all students and faculty to ask about our supplemental instruction services and the difference it can make for students and their future success.
-
What is Supplemental Instruction?
If you are enrolled in a class with Supplemental Instruction, you have the option to meet with an SI Leader for group study sessions that review class materials and help you prepare for exams.
Times and locations are announced during class based on survey responses.

Who can take part in SI?
- An SI Leader is appointed by the Professor of the course and is someone who previously made an "A" in the class.

Why should I participate in SI?
Studies have shown that participants:
