Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that attaches peer-assisted study sessions to historically difficult courses. The study sessions are facilitated by a trained SI peer leader who has previously received an A or B in the course. For a quick summary, view this three minute SI video.
UC Clermont began its first SI pilot program in fall quarter 2008, with plans to expand the program after a year. Check out our photo gallery to see how much our program has grown and how much our students are enjoying the benefits.

What students can expect
SI students earn higher subject grades and withdraw less often than non-SI participants.
SI sessions normally occur in classrooms near the subject classroom.
SI sessions are open to all students in the subject and are attended on a voluntary basis.
SI sessions include students of varying skills and are not divided by academic ability.
SI leaders attend all class sessions, take notes, and read all of the assigned materials with the students, after which they conduct two or more 50-minute SI sessions each week. SI leaders DO NOT assist in the preparation of examinations or grade examinations.
SI leaders have weekly office hours to provide students with the opportunity to get additional assistance.
