We made it through the first week of the semester, so let's talk about a great resource that can help you be successful: SI PASS!
SI Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are weekly review sessions led by trained student leaders. Not only have SI PASS leaders succeeded in the course before, but they also attend classes along with you so they can help you be successful.
The best way to find out more about SI PASS is to attend a session! SI PASS exists for select BIOL, CHEM, ECON, MATH, PHYS, and SPAN courses. For session times, please check with your SI PASS leader.
SI PASS allows students to interact with the material in dynamic ways. Sessions allow students to compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and prepare for tests.
Do you love SI PASS? Tell us about it in the comments!

Spanish Lab Walk in tutoring
Spanish 101, 102, 201 Fridays 2-5pm 1st floor Library
Hi Retrievers!
As you all know, UMBC requires you to complete a foreign language for graduation and many UMBC students choose Spanish. While foreign languages may come easily to others, some students may need a little extra help. That's where the Spanish Lab comes in!
Spanish Lab? What is that? How does it work?
The Spanish Lab is a walk in Spanish help program that the Learning Resources Center is piloting this semester. This is a space where you can work on your Spanish homework or group projects and ask tutors for help if you need it. It's like having a study hall with tutors available if you have questions. If you're taking a Spanish class up to SPAN 201 and you don't understand something--this is the chance of a lifetime...or well of a semester anyway.
When and where does this happen?
Spanish Lab runs every Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. until May 12, 2017. The lab will be located on the first floor of the library, in the space that the Writing Center and Math Lab normally occupy.
What should I bring?
Bring questions! Bring projects! Bring anything that you are working on for your Spanish class! But most importantly, bring a good attitude and an open mind.
For more information, follow our myUMBC group or our Facebook page!!
Excited? Apprehensive? Have questions? Please leave them below in the comments section and we will do our best to answer them!

Academic Support Spotlight: BIOL 141
Hi Retrievers! This is a feature on our myUMBC page where we highlight a class at UMBC and tell you guys what resources there are to help you do your best.
BIOL 141, or Foundations of Biology: Cells, Energy, and Organisms, is another large class at UMBC. Considered to be "Bio for Majors," this class is designed to be a rigorous preparation for upper level Biology courses. However, BIOL majors should not be the only ones on the look out for this class--it's recommended for CHEM education and it can be a prerequisite for BIOL 302, which is required for most med schools and dental schools. So whether you're a future researcher on the Human Genome Project, or you're the next medical prodigy, BIOL 141 is a class you want to succeed in. Thankfully, there's tons of academic support on our campus to help you do well!
SI-PASS: If you're in BIOL 141 and you don't know what SI-PASS is, now is a good time to find out! Supplemental Instruction at UMBC are Peer Assisted Study Sessions where an SI PASS leader guides students through study sessions. SI PASS leaders also conduct exam reviews before tests. There are SI PASS sessions for BIOL 141 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!! You can find out times for SI PASS on the ASC website.
Biology Learning Center: Having problems in BIOL 141? Not a problem! The Biology department runs its own Biology Learning Center! Led by one of the senior lecturers in the Biology department, the Biology Learning Center has its own peer tutors that can help students in any core biology course. Tutoring is one-on-one and very flexible--students can contact the tutors directly and make arrangements to meet with them on their own and as often as they'd like. The Biology Learning Center is located in the Biological Sciences Building, Room 011! Stop by and get help today.
LRC Appointment Tutoring: Students who want help in BIOL 141 can sign up for weekly, small group tutoring with a certified peer tutor! This is recommended for students who could benefit from consistent support in the course. You can sign up for weekly appointment tutoring on our website, or you can click the sign up button on our Facebook page!
BIOL 141 TAs: Teaching Assistants are great resources! Make sure you ask them for help--that's what they're there for?
Are you in BIOL 141? Do you swear by any of these things? Let us know in the comments!

LRC Tutoring Starts February 3rd
Tutoring starts on Wednesday! Sign up now!
The Learning Resources Center is your one-stop shop for academic support for many undergraduate courses at UMBC. Papers got you down? Visit The Writing Center! Need help with Math? Visit our Math Lab (now located on the first floor of the library, right next to our Writing Center). Need help with any other course? Sign up for weekly Appointment Tutoring through our website!
Before you begin your quest for academic excellence, let’s cover a few of the basics with a handy FAQ about Appointment Tutoring.
“How do I get a tutor?”
Sign up online through our website! Because it’s a Google form, make sure you log into myUMBC and check your mail, which will in turn sign you into your UMBC google account. Our form is UMBC exclusive, meaning that you will not be able to see it unless you are signed into your UMBC google account.
“How does tutoring work?”
After you sign up for tutoring, you will receive a weekly (yes, weekly) appointment with one of our trained peer tutors. Our appointment tutoring is small group, meaning that no more than 3 other people will be tutored with you at the same time.
“What should I bring to my weekly session?”
Bring your textbooks, your questions, and a willingness to learn! Our tutors are here to help you, but they can’t if you’re not prepared for an active learning session.
“I don’t want to commit to weekly tutoring. Can’t I just come in right before I have a test or a final?”
Unfortunately, no. The purpose of LRC tutoring is to help you learn the material, not cram for a test. We want you to be successful, not just in one class but all of your classes as well. The best way to do that is to learn the material now and work through it with consistent support.
"How do I know when I’ve been scheduled for tutoring?/ How do I cancel if I can’t make it one week?"
Check your UMBC Google calendar! You should have a weekly event. If you can’t make it, you need to email the Learning Resources Center. Clicking “no” on the event isn’t enough.
"What does the LRC tutor?"
The short answer to that question is to check our website. We tutor mostly 100-level and 200-level courses, with a few 300-level courses for good measure. If your course isn’t listed, you can always request it on our website.
Tutoring starts Wednesday, February 3rd!
