Events & Group Study Sessions

Students studying together

The PAL Centre offers group study opportunities throughout the Fall and Winter terms to help students prepare for tests, midterms & exams

Group Study Sessions

Group Study Sessions are offered ahead of exams for selected courses. Led by Learning Peers, these sessions provide opportunities to review course content, practise applying key concepts, ask questions, and prepare with other students in your course.

Study Café

Study Cafés provide a relaxed space to study for upcoming exams with support from Learning Peers. Students can get course-specific help, review material, study alongside peers, and enjoy snacks while they work.

Check Western Connect for upcoming Group Study Sessions, Study Cafés, and other PAL events.


Study Zone

Study Zone offers 2-hour group study sessions designed to help you stay focused and motivated to complete independent work using the Pomodoro Method, a time management strategy that breaks work into focused intervals followed by short breaks.

At the beginning of a session, participants are guided to set specific goals that are appropriate to the time available. During the focused study intervals, you'll work independently on your own tasks, while the breaks offer an opportunity to socialize, encourage one another, and share tips. This approach promotes realistic goal setting and sustained concentration to get stuff done.
