Supplemental Instruction (SI) Session Schedules

SI session schedules of availability are listed in CU Succeed and communicated via email with course class-lists. Students can attend session meetings by simply showing up at the session at the provided time and location. 

Distance Support via Zoom Tutoring, Writing Tutoring, and Peer Research Consultants

All of our individual tutoring, writing tutoring, and Peer Research Consultant services are also available via Zoom, when requested. As you schedule your appointment through the CU Succeed interface, please indicate if you want to meet in person or via Zoom.  


Device Requirements for Zoom Meetings

A device with audio and video capabilities.
A reliable internet connection that will support video streaming.
The Zoom App (available at the App Store), or download a small application from the web, which the website links you to (see https://mansfield.zoom.us/download).
While Zoom is quite easy to set up, please attempt to download and test the Zoom interface prior to the appointment time.

When the Time Comes for Your Zoom Appointment

  • Personal Zoom rooms for each peer educator are listed in the CU Succeed appointment scheduling platform. Browse you CU Succeed calendar of appointments to access links for your meetings - you will need to cut and paste the Zoom Meeting invitation links into your web browser to join. This action should open the Zoom Meeting web interface.
  • Follow the instructions for enabling your video/audio.
  • In the event of technical difficulty, please be prepared to communicate with your peer educator via email until the Zoom Meeting is in progress. It may help to have their name handy in order to look up their email in the Mansfield email system directory (type a name into the “To:” field when composing a new message through your Mansfield email account).

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance please contact Dr. Christopher Cummings for assistance at ccumming@commonwealthu.edu or 570-662-4828.
