Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of peer-facilitated weekly review sessions for students taking challenging courses, such as accountancy, biology, chemistry, and physics. SI Leaders are current students who have previously taken the course, performed well, and want to help others succeed. On average, students who receive supplemental instruction regularly earn higher scores than students who don't. Email SIOffice@nau.edu for more information.

Math Achievement Program

The Math Achievement Program (MAP) provides students with a peer tutor specializing in math and statistics courses. You don't need an appointment to attend, and you can drop-in throughout the week:

  • Monday-Thursday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
  • Friday: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
