Integrating “what to learn” with “how to learn”
SI Supported Courses
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support model that utilizes peer-assisted study sessions. The SI program provides regularly scheduled review sessions on course materials outside the classroom. SI is a non-remedial approach to learning as the program targets high-risk courses and is available in select courses based on data related to past student performance and feasibility.
All times are Eastern Time (ET)
Schedule subject to change.

What is SI?
- A non-remedial approach to learning for historically difficult courses which have been challenging for ALL students
- Utilizes a peer-led group study approach to help students succeed
- Facilitated by an SI Leader, who is a current student who has already successfully completed the course
Benefits of SI
- great way to connect with other students studying the same course
- guaranteed weekly study time that helps reinforce learning and retention of information
- maximize understanding of the subject in a casual and relaxed environment
- learn and integrate study tools and successful exam techniques, specific to that course
Study Partners
Support for students to create and benefit from their own study groups
If SI is not available for the course you are seeking help in, consider forming your own peer study group. The SASC team can assist you in connecting with other students in your course who are interested in forming a study group. This level of support is open to any course where the instructor requests or agrees that such support is appropriate and students are interested in both leading and participating. Follow these steps to get started.
