The Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) program is an academic support program, available to all students studying in selected units. PASS offers regular, out-of-class sessions which focus on integrating course content (what to learn) with academic reasoning and study skills (how to learn).
PASS sessions are facilitated by PASS Leaders - students who have previously and successfully completed the targeted unit.
The sessions are informal seminars, in which students review notes, discuss readings, develop study tools, and prepare for examinations.
Data from UTAS, and both national and international, indicate that PASS students earn higher subject grades, and withdraw less often, than non-PASS participants (in units where the program is offered).
