Academic Support and Advising

In-Class Tutoring (Supplemental Instruction)

What is In-Class Tutoring?

  • Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a non-remedial tutorial support program which targets large, academically challenging, Liberal Arts Core courses.
  • Open to all students enrolled in the course, SI provides assistance through regularly scheduled study sessions, usually in regular classrooms, that begin the second week of class and continue through the week prior to finals.
  • The SI program provides an environment in which how-to-learn is integrated with what-to-learn.
  • Research data shows that SI students earn higher exam and course grades and withdraw less often that non-SI participants. Also, data demonstrates higher re-enrollment and graduation rates for SI participants.
