DISCLAIMER: Calendar is subject to change. Check regularly for up-to-date information.

Study sessions are places for scholars to be able to work on their academics in a designated quiet environment. Academic Scholars are available to assist with general questions you may have about specific subjects. Academic Scholars are not tutors; however, you can consult with them about learning or studying strategies.

In order to receive credit for the study session, scholars must be present for a minimum of one (1) hour.  For example, if a student stays at a study session for an hour and a half they will get 1.5 (one hour and 30 min) hours of credit. If a student stays for only 30 minutes, they will not receive credit until they reach the hour minimum.

Time Breakdown:

.25 = 15 min  

.50= 30 min  

.75= 45 min

1.0= 1 full hour 

The Study Session week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
