What exactly is ÁùºÏ±¦µä PASS? The ÁùºÏ±¦µä Peer-Assisted Study Session program places student leaders in traditionally difficult courses with high rates of D's, F's and withdrawals from the class. A ÁùºÏ±¦µä PASS leader must be a student who has taken the class previously and earned a high grade. As a ÁùºÏ±¦µä PASS Leader, you attend all class meetings for the course you are paired with. Outside of class, you are responsible for planning and facilitating four guided study session hours open to all students enrolled in the class.
