Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a student-led, collaborative learning opportunity available for many academically demanding courses. Supplemental Instruction is designed to assist students to integrate WHAT to learn with HOW to learn. For this reason, SI is the preferred support option for courses in which it is offered. The SI course schedule can be found below and in TracCloud.

As a means to provide structured support to second-tier gateway courses, the Mentored Study Group program began in the spring 2015 semester. Since that time it has grown to include specific courses in math, engineering, chemistry, and economics departments. The MSG model is based on principles that have proven efficacy in enhancing the learning of complex subject matter, increasing understanding of difficult material, instilling confidence in mastery of the material, and improving exam grades. MSGs are facilitated by upper-class students who work closely with course professors to ensure Mentored Study Group leaders are well prepared to explain complex course topics. The MSG schedule by course is listed below and can be found in TracCloud.

Drop-in Labs are offered as stand-alone support resources for certain courses. Drop-in Labs are staffed by peer tutors who have been trained to assist students on a one-to-one and many-to-one basis and take place throughout the week. Students may drop in when they have questions about the material or if they require a brief review of an important concept. Tutoring Staff work with students primarily on a one-to-one, first-come, first-serve basis, but may deviate from this model when necessary to address all questions. The Drop-In schedule for courses is available through TracCloud.
