SI is a peer-led, academic assistance program that can significantly improve performance for students who attend regularly. Students who attend 10 or more sessions throughout the semester have statistically been shown to earn half to a full letter grade higher than those students who do not attend.
The SI program at Texas A&M University started in 1992. The Texas A&M University SI program was named as the SI program of the year in 2004. We host the bi-annual regional conference on Supplemental Instruction. Some of our SI Leader training materials have been adopted by the International Center for Supplemental Instruction. The SI program has received its accreditation by International Center for Supplemental Instruction at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2019.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Each semester, we track student attendance and compare final course grades of students who frequently attend SI during the semester (10 or more sessions attended) with students in targeted courses who did not attend SI. On average students who attend frequently will earn a final course grade that is one-half to one full letter grade higher than students who do not attend SI sessions.

Through LAUNCH: Honors, the University Honors Program challenges high-achieving undergraduate students to develop the personal, professional, and intellectual skills they will need to address tomorrow's multifaceted problems.
The IG has enabled the A&M System to implement the strategies detailed in the SSPG, aiding in increasing stopped out student re-enrollment and completion. The System supports a Community of Practice (COP) to regularly engage and collaborate, and work as a Networked Improvement Community (NIC). The work focuses on four common core areas, which were identified as areas of need including:
1.) Marketing & Communication (Engagement, Website, Accessibility)
2.) Admissions Policy & Practice (Application, Transcript, Admissions)
3.) Financial Resources & Policy (Debt management, Financial aid, Funding)
4.) Student Support Resources (Onboarding and acclimation, Flexibility of resource access,
Relevant support services, from basic needs to career).
Institutions developed specific action items in each core area, including expanding strategic outreach and communication; promoting belonging; and improving learning in targeted courses.
