Join the graduate writing room

A space to write, focus and connect.

Make time for your thesis or dissertation and do it alongside other graduate students. Bring your laptop (or pen and paper) and settle in for focused writing time in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

The Graduate Writing Room meets regularly throughout the term. Write quietly alongside your peers, build momentum, and connect with an Academic Skills Centre advisor for support when you need it. Free with no registration required!

Visit the study hub

The Study Hub is a welcoming space for undergraduate students to work independently, study with friends, or get support from an Academic Skills Advisor (ASA).

An ASA will be available to help with things like:

  • planning your study time and staying on track
  • preparing for exams and assignments
  • academic writing and getting started on a paper
  • making strategic choices about how to study
  • questions about academic integrity and using GenAI responsibly

You don’t need to have a question or know exactly what you need help with. Drop in, bring your laptop or your books, and use the space to focus, work, or study with others.

Come as you are. Work how you work. We’re here to help you make progress. Free with no registration required!
