Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a grant-funded academic assistance program for challenging Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses featuring weekly collaborative study sessions. Regularly scheduled weekly sessions are held in the CTE Supplemental Instruction Center, Instructional Building 5, Room 201. Additional remote and blended sessions are also available.

SI Canvas courses help support students by providing a digital learning environment, in addition to weekly SI sessions and office hours. Students will find schedules of sessions and office hours, as well as resources and announcements, posted in their SI Canvas Course.

Links to SI Canvas courses are provided to students in supported class sections and can also be found below.

What is an SI leader?

SI leaders are former students who have successfully taken the selected courses, but attend classes with students to review material and prepare weekly session plans.

SI leaders help students:
Master course content
Practice skills
Improve study strategies
Connect with peers
Increase motivation and engagement
Improve test scores and course grades.

SI has a new, larger space!

Instructional Building (#5), Second Floor

Room 201

If you’ve used Supplemental Instruction in past terms, our new space is right next door to the old room. But we have more room to spread out, an amazing smart display, and – of course – plenty of snacks! If you are passing by, stop and say hello. We look forward to working with you on one of the classes we support.

Not sure where to find your SI Canvas course? Click on the plus sign next to your class on the left side of the screen – or scroll up if you are reading this on your phone – and you’ll find the Canvas link for your SI leader.
