FAQs

For Students

Do I need to make an appointment?

No appointments are needed to attend SI sessions. You can view our schedule in the Session Schedules page.

What should I bring to an SI Session?

You can bring your textbook/s, notes, and any other supplemental material from your course. You can also bring an electronic device (such as a phone, tablet, or computer) to take notes with or to use for SI activities that may require a device.

What does it cost to attend SI?

Nothing! It’s a free academic support program.

For Faculty 

How will this benefit my students?

This service can help gauge your students' understanding of the course material. Students can come into classes with higher levels of preparedness, critical thinking, and study skills. 

What makes the SI Leader qualified to facilitate SI study sessions?

SI Leaders are undergraduate students who have already successfully completed the targeted course. SI Leaders are selected based on their academic strengths as well as their communication and interpersonal skills.

SI Leaders attend lectures, take notes, and complete the readings and assignments just as enrolled students do. SI Leaders also interface regularly with faculty to discuss the concepts that should be reviewed in the weekly SI sessions. In addition, SI Leaders are responsible for facilitating weekly SI review sessions, preparing session plans, and attending SI training meetings.
