About the SMART Commons
Peer Learning Consultants offer one-on-one assistance for help in gateway courses and skills such as mathematics, sciences, statistics, economics, writing, and library research. Additional courses may be supported, based on the backgrounds of our Peer Learning Consultant staff in any given semester.
SMART is home to the Peer-Assisted Learning program, which pairs experienced undergraduates (PAL Facilitators) with specific course sections to facilitate group learning experiences. See the PAL pages for more details.
Individual and groups study spaces are available in SMART centers for self-directed study on a first come, first served basis.
The SMART also hosts short introductory workshops in Excel, PowerPoint, academic services and skill development, and library resources.
