The Supplemental Instruction (SI) program is a peer-led academic support program targeted
towards historically challenging undergraduate courses. SI leaders are current UNT
students who have previously taken these courses and successfully earned an “A” letter
grade. These students re-take the course with current students and lead group-based
study sessions throughout the duration of the week. Attending SI sessions has shown
to provide a significant impact on students’ academic performance.
How to Learn and What to Learn
Weekly sessions are facilitated by trained peer leaders who have successfully completed
the course in a previous semester. SI leaders attend lectures, take notes and read
all assigned material just like the enrolled students.
Go at Least Once a Week!
Attendance at SI sessions is free and voluntary. Students may attend as many times
as they choose. Announcements about supplemental instruction are made in SI-supported
courses during the first week of classes. Sessions begin the second week of classes
and continue throughout the semester.

Students are chosen to assist our fulltime staff with managing our SI program. These
student leaders have demonstrated leadership as a Supplemental Instructor resulting
in a promotion to a senior position. Get to know our SI Senior Leaders from various
