Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

PASS is a program offered through The Learning Center and the Academic Advising and Retention Center. PASS Leaders are students who have previously taken a course successfully--they are recommended by faculty members and thereafter are trained to tutor for group study sessions.  These PASS Leaders sit in on the course  and hold weekly study sessions covering core concepts and particularly difficult subject matter.  Courses associated with PASS are commonly large-enrollment 100-level courses. The goal of PASS is to coordinate with the faculty members teaching these classes to provide supplemental resources for students who are interested.

PASS sessions may contain one or more of the following:

  • Review of weekly materials
  • Mock quizzes or tests
  • Games
  • Other activities

All of these materials are designed to help students succeed.
