Study Hubs are running both in person and online. Find all upcoming sessions on Folio.
Come join and tackle your study goals!
Study Hubs are scheduled times for you to set and meet your studying goals. Quiet, welcoming spaces allow you to complete readings, work on assignments and prepare for tests and exams.
Open to all undergraduate and graduate students.
How Study Hubs Work
At the beginning of each session, a student peer mentor will help you set an achievable study goal for the next two hours. No matter what you have to do, setting SMART goals can be highly effective. Our mentors have useful academic resources on hand in case you need them.
Attendance can count toward CCR recognition once you attend at least six sessions and write a brief personal reflection.

Lead a Study Hub
If you would like to become a peer mentor with the Study Hubs, we offer online training sessions near the beginning and midpoint of each term. You will be able to facilitate sessions on your own schedule, so you can do your own work and support other students at the same time!
Find the training schedule on Folio. If there are no training sessions on the calendar that work for your schedule, please contact Jonathan Vandor at jonathan.vandor@utoronto.ca to be added to the list of potential new hosts.
Once you’ve run eleven or more Study Hubs and written a brief personal reflection on your experience, you’ll be eligible for Co-Curricular Record (CCR) recognition. These reflections are collected though an online form that will be sent by email after your eleventh Hub.

58 votesHaving a Zoom tab on my screen may seem like a small and insignificant difference, but it served as a constant visual reminder to work and not be distracted. The SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Rewarded, Timely) Goal acronym served as a useful framework for setting goals which my time at the Study Hubs introduced me to, and I will continue to use it to set goals both at future Study Hub sessions as well as for group studying and extracurriculars.

Being in a shared environment, even virtually, kept me accountable and more mindful of how I used my time. Having this structured time set aside allowed me to stay consistent and make significant progress, reducing the likelihood of procrastination because the sessions felt purposeful and intentional. I also found it motivating to set a small reward for myself after each session, such as taking a break, having a snack, or watching Netflix. Knowing I had something to look forward to made it easier to focus and push through my work. I plan to continue using this type of structured work time to stay on track, especially during busier weeks when it is easy to fall behind.

Everyone was so welcoming and nice. I really like that it’s online because as a commuter student it can be difficult to participate in extra programs. Overall, I also really loved the organization because the Pomodoro style learning helped me finish my work in an enjoyable/ effective way.

Study Hubs remain an essential resource for me in maintaining my academic progress. It has been a great community builder where people from different disciplines and stages of their academic journey get to know each other, even if briefly. Personally, it has introduced me to a few wonderful individuals who frequently engage with Study Hubs. These Hubs offer the external framework I need to stay focused and on track.
