SI offers academic support of all students enrolled in historically difficult courses.
Assistance begins the first week of the semester. SI sessions are open to all students enrolled in the SI course and are attended on a voluntary basis. SI sessions are comprised of students of varying abilities and no effort is made to segregate students based on academic ability. SI leaders attend all class sessions, take notes, read all assigned material, and conduct one or more SI sessions each week. SI students earn higher course grades and withdraw less often than non-SI participants.
