TRiO participants may receive peer and professional mentoring, assistance with study skills, career advising, and financial literacy, in addition to opportunities to attend cultural events and visit four-year schools.

Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an internationally recognized academic support program that targets traditionally difficult courses. Students come together in regularly scheduled study sessions to compare notes, discuss course materials, develop creative study tools, practice problem solving, and prepare for exams. These sessions are facilitated by trained SI Leaders that attend the course sessions and prepare study materials for use during SI sessions. SI is a great tool to help you learn course material with fellow students and is just one more program that Bay College has implemented to provide you the opportunity to succeed. Check to see if any of your courses have a SI section available! If you have any questions about SI, contact the Academic Support Services Coordinator at 906-302-3004.
