About Structured Learning Assistance

Structured Learning Assistance (SLA) is an academic support program that is attached to historically difficult courses. SLA features weekly study and practice workshops in which students master course content to develop and apply specific learning strategies. The workshops are led by trained facilitators, who in collaboration with the faculty develop workshop materials. Workshops meet from one to three hours per week throughout the semester and are optional once the student achieves a grade of C or higher in the course. The additional hours are formally attached to the student’s schedule and are offered at no additional charge.

Please note: If this request is approved you will be required to take one of the Structured Learning Assistance sections which are offered in Fall and Winter.
