The Initiative will consist of a one credit-hour course designed to help these students develop proven learning strategies and apply them to other courses to achieve academic success. SLI students will also engage in weekly individual meetings with an assigned SLI Instructor or Peer Academic Coach to ensure the completion of all academic responsibilities and to support students as they navigate college-life challenges.
