Supplemental Instruction
Session SChedule Student FAQ Faculty Resources Testimonials SI Goals Apply to be an SI Leader
Supplemental Instruction (SI) provides free, organized group study sessions which are open to any student enrolled in historically difficult courses and are led by currently-enrolled University of Utah students who are trained to be SI leaders. SI sessions are held twice a week for 60 minutes each.
The Learning Center defines historically difficult courses as ones with high rates of non-passing grades, withdrawls, and incompletes. If you are enrolled in a different section of a supported course, you are welcome to attend the SI sessions; however, the course content may not line up depending on course syllabi.
Check out the student and faculty resources pages for more information about Supplemental Instruction. If you have any questions about the SI program, please contact the SI Coordinator at Taylor.R.Johnson@utah.edu.

SI Program Goals
Supplemental Instruction helps students to become independent learners by combining what to learn with how to learn. The main goals of the SI program are to empower students to:
- Learn the course material
- Improve their course grade
- Develop transferable study skills
SI provides students with an informal small group learning experience that helps them feel connected to other students and demonstrates the power of group study. Students who attend SI sessions report higher course grades and more learned study skills than their peers who do not attend (International Center for Supplemental Instruction, 2022).
