Final Review Sessions
Final Review sessions for Fall 2025 will held on Friday, December 12th and Saturday, December 13th. Specific details will be posted in November.
Drop-In Sessions
Drop-In Sessions allows students to ask more personal questions that focus on the content they need guidance and assistance with. The SI Leader will either work with students individually or in smaller groups to provide them with the ability to manage their own learning and study strategies by providing academic assistance in solving or answering the students' problems or questions rather than providing them with answers. SI leaders help students improve their learning strategies in order to promote independence and empowerment.
