Academic Resources
The Academic Advising Center has 46 advisors, administrators, and support staff dedicated to providing academic guidance and support to students as they enter and make their way through the university.
The Academic Resource Center offers the Supplemental Instruction (SI) program, a FREE, course-specific, peer-facilitated group study session that was developed to improve retention and academic success within historically challenging courses. SI sessions are held multiple times per week throughout the semester by a SI Leader. Leaders are successful students who have already mastered the course material. SI sessions are designed to be a fun and interactive way to learn the course material through group activities, discussions, and games! All you need to bring are any course materials that will help you be prepared to engage in the session.
