Overview
The Supplemental Instruction (SI) program offers peer-led support for historically difficult subjects
and major gateway courses with high rates of D and F grades and unauthorized withdrawals (DFW).
SI Leaders, high-achieving students recommended by faculty members and recruited and trained
by the SCAA, attend lecture sections to model effective learning skills and identify challenging
content for review in regularly scheduled group study.
Group study sessions consist of interactive discussions and collaborative activities facilitated
by SI Leaders. Any student registered in an SI-supported course may freely attend sessions,
and consistent participation often results in improved comprehension, performance, and
preparation for future coursework.
