Supplemental Instruction (SI) Program
WSU Vancouver offer academic support and assistance for a number of classes through the SI Program.
What is the SI program?
It is a free academic support program available on WSU Vancouver campus. The purpose of the SI Program is to help students better understand concepts or applications of course content while improving their grades.
Your SI Leader, who has content-competency and has previously taken the course, will facilitate a series of weekly review sessions and offer assistance with a particular subject matter. All students who are enrolled in the SI-supported courses are welcome to join the SI sessions throughout the semester!
Who are the SI Leaders, and how does the SI program work?
Most of SI Leaders are junior and senior students who have successfully completed the courses they are assigned to. They possess and demonstrate effective study skills and help students maximize their potential for their academic success. Find out more about our friendly SI Leaders!
SI Leaders sit in designated classes with students for the full semester and take lecture notes. SI Leaders facilitate a series of weekly review sessions covering the course content, exam review and preparation as well as assisting students in developing effective study strategies. These group sessions are free and open to all students at all levels of academic achievement who are part of SI-supported courses.
