Supplemental Instruction Program (SI)

What is Supplemental Instruction?

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a non-remedial, institution-wide program designed to increase student achievement and retention in "high risk" courses and escalate graduation rates. The SI program targets traditionally difficult academic courses that have high percentage rates of D and F grades and withdrawals, normally first and second year courses.

The SI model of student academic assistance utilizes tutors or SI leaders to help students integrate course content and learning/study strategies in regularly scheduled out-of-class, peer facilitated sessions. Because SI is open to everyone enrolled in a specific class, study sessions attract students from all ability levels.

The College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certified the NSU Supplemental Instruction program at the Level II stage. Certification establishes creditability for the program and provides professional standards for tutor training. SI courses include intermediate algebra, Auto CAD, and biology. The key persons are the SI coordinator, the SI leaders, NSU faculty/staff, and of course, NSU students.
