About the department / center:

The mission of the Academic Coaching and Tutoring Office is to empower students to develop the academic skills and strategies that will pave the way for future success. Every undergraduate student can benefit from the support we offer–struggling students gain confidence and see great improvement, and high-achieving students become even stronger.

Role Description:

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are structured study groups that help UD undergraduates review course material, practice effective study strategies, and collaborate with classmates. PASS Leaders are trained undergraduate students who have successfully completed the course with a B or higher and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA. They facilitate interactive sessions—held weekly or around exams—to reinforce key concepts and promote academic success. Some leaders may also attend lectures to stay current with course content and strengthen connections with students and instructors.

• Facilitate interactive learning sessions that integrate study strategies with course content.
