Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) is an academic support model for courses that have been identified as historically difficult.The program provides academic support to students in these courses by employing model students to attend the course and then facilitate or lead collaborative learning groups outside of regularly scheduled class time. These collaborative learning groups help students master content, learn and integrate study strategies, and improve student persistence.
Unless otherwise noted, PAL meets in Instructional Building 5, Room 217, and can be reached by phone at (732) 255-0400 Ext. 4108.
