Peer-Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

Be a PASS Leader!

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are led by a PASS Leader who is an exceptional student and has already mastered the course material. The PASS Leader has been trained to facilitate group sessions wherein students can meet to improve their understanding of course material, review and discuss important concepts, develop study strategies and prepare for exams. The PASS Leader provides two or three 50-75 minute sessions a week during which course readings, content, and material are brought together with effective learning strategies in a collaborative learning environment. Through the process of leading PASS sessions, PASS Leaders gain content knowledge as well as skills for college and career.
