Peer Academic Support Service (PASS)
Our Peer Academics are all successful students with a passion for helping others. Who better to help you master your classes than students who have already done it? Students are able to get assistance with study skills, additional test taking strategies, improved note taking practices, and some course content review.
For further information about PASS or how to get involved, please contact Arif Fazel arif_fazel@bshsi.org.
PASS Policies
▼ PASS Policies (click down arrow to expand text)
- PASS appointments last 45 minutes for students. Scheduled appointments are recommended to ensure availability though walk-ins are welcome if a Peer Academic is available. The Peer Academic has the right to refuse a walk-in if they are expecting an appointment soon. In this case, Peer Academics should recommend students to schedule an appointment when convenient.
- All PASS appointments will take place in the PASS Office (next to the Testing Center) unless otherwise specified.
- Students are expected to arrive on time and ready for the PASS appointment. This includes bringing course materials and any specific questions related to this material the student may have. Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late without notice will be considered a "No Show".
- Cancellations Students must provide at least 2 hours' notice when cancelling an appointment but should give as much notice as possible. Any student who does not cancel an appointment and does not show up for their appointment will be considered a "No Show".
- Two "No Shows" in one semester will result in the loss of appointment scheduling privileges though they may drop in.
- Students may not schedule appointments more than two weeks (14 days) in advance. Such appointments will be canceled and not honored by the PASS Office.
- Peer Academics are available for walk-in support services whenever they are scheduled, but do not have an appointment. Out of respect for other students and due to the proximity of the Testing Center, students should be aware of their volume levels and should keep their voices low at all times.
- Students and Peer Academics are expected to act with professionalism and in compliance with the honor code and code of conduct at all times.
