Supplemental Instruction (SI)

SI is a High Impact academic assistance program designed to improve the student’s academic performance and increase retention. The SI program targets traditionally difficult core curriculum courses and provides regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated group study sessions.

The SI Program seeks to promote the following Learning Outcomes for students who utilize our services:

CORE COMPETENCIES

  1. Develop the ability to identify the main idea.
  2. Develop the ability to identify the intellectual level at which information needs to be processed.
  3. Develop the ability to utilize an appropriate study strategy for the information at its intellectual level.
  4. Manage time devoted to academic study.

SI leaders conduct three 50-minute study sessions per week. If an SI Leader is assigned to your course, the leader will be attending either the same section as you, or another section of the class held by the same professor. Whether or not the SI Leader attends your section, you are still welcome at the SI session. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Learning Center at 845-2724.
