PASS: Peer Assisted Study Sessions

Why study alone when you can join a Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS)?

PASS begins in week 2 of the trimester but it's never too late to join; you can start in any week. There is no registration - just turn up at the classroom and give the PASS leader your name and student ID number.

In PASS you work with other students to understand the content of your unit and develop study strategies to improve your academic performance.

PASS study sessions are active and engaging and are a great way to meet other people in your course.

In one 50-minute PASS session you can accomplish much more than you ever could in hours and hours of solo study!

PASS sessions:

  • are facilitated by students (PASS leaders) who have excelled in the unit
  • are different from and do not replace tutorials or lectures
  • allow you to work through problems, issues and specific tasks with other students
  • assist with your understanding of course content
  • are recommended for all students, whether striving for a high distinction or a pass.
