Have you ever been a bit confused or overwhelmed in a class? Have you ever missed the grade you wanted by "just that much"? Have you ever felt that you studied for hours but found the test to be different than what you'd expected? If so, Supplemental Instruction could be just the solution for you.
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program utilizing peer-assisted study sessions to assist students with traditionally difficult academic courses. SI sessions are an opportunity for students to work together with other classmates to compare notes, discuss readings, ask questions, develop organizational tools, and prepare for examinations.
Please check the schedule below to find the SI nearest you. (Note: You may only attend an SI session if you are registered for the exact class and section listed.)

What are the SI Leaders’ responsibilities
SI Leaders are successful students who are responsible for leading a minimum of one 50-minute study session per week for a designated course. SI Leaders attend all course lectures, take notes, and hold two office hours per week so they can plan and facilitate quality SI sessions to assist students with course content and study skills. SI leaders must also complete a training program and attend supplementary training during the semester.
What are the benefits of being an SI Leader?
SI is a paid, professional opportunity for student leaders who want to build rapport with an academic department, gain experience facilitating groups and teaching students, and review an academic discipline in preparation for an advanced degree. SI Leaders typically work 8 hours per week, which leaves time for another job or other activities. How to apply to be an SI leader
