Faculty Resources

Faculty are our most powerful partners in engaging students with academic support resources on our campus.  To assist you in directing students to campus academic support resources, we have drafted language that you may choose to include on your syllabi/cougar courses about each center/program. We also provide contact info for each center/program.  We look forward to working with you to ensure students have access to available academic resources that are sure to help them succeed. 

Academic Success Center

The Academic Success Center offers free, online tutoring for Economics, Psychology, Political Science, Philosophy, Statistics for Human Development and Psychology, and Spanish courses. Our trained peer educators (tutors) are ready to help you develop a stronger understanding of course concepts, develop and enhance your study skills, and help prepare you for quizzes/exams. A schedule of our Summer online tutoring hours can be found on the ASC website or we also encourage students to stop by and visit our virtual Academic Success Center on Microsoft Teams. Follow us on Instagram @csusm_asc.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) 

Shorter Syllabus Statement: Supplemental Instruction (SI) study sessions are offered weekly for this course. SI sessions will be offered virtually through Microsoft Teams and in-person following the modality of the course it supports. For more information about the days, times, and modality of the SI sessions for your course please talk to your SI Leader, or visit the SI website.

Longer Syllabus Statement: Supplemental Instruction (SI) study sessions are offered weekly for this course. SI study sessions are led by a student who has successfully completed this course and has been trained to facilitate group study sessions that help students improve their understanding of course material, review and discuss important concepts, identify effective study strategies, and help you prepare for exams. Students, who attend SI sessions weekly, typically earn a higher final course grade than students who do not participate in SI. SI is for everyone and open to all students enrolled in this class; attend early and often to ensure you never fall behind! SI study sessions begin during the 3rd week of the semester and are now being held virtually or in-person. For more information about the schedule and delivery of SI study sessions, please talk to your SI Leader, or visit the SI website.
