Learning Center: Structured Learning Assistance

Structured Learning Assistance (SLA) is an exciting and unique program that combines the idea of “what to learn” with “how to learn” through weekly sessions led by a fellow student who has already demonstrated the ability to perform well in class.

• SLA is a mandatory, 1.25 hours-per-week directed study and practice session. 

• Through collaborative efforts, mentors implement study skills to help students master course content and form study teams.

• Students acquire knowledge and skills and develop characteristics necessary for future academic success.

• Students are given content-specific background information to assist them in making connections to the homework and lectures of the class.
