SciLearn Peer Collaboration
SciLearn Peer Collaboration ("the Peer Collab") is a space for undergraduate students in Science courses to learn collaboratively with the support of teaching assistants (TAs), undergraduate peer mentors, and course instructors. For the Winter 2026 term, the Peer Collab is open weekdays 3-5 PM, January 19 to April 14 in the Burnside Hall Basement room 1B18.
At the Peer Collab, students are invited to:
- Attend course-specific sessions: Meet and learn with peers in 10+ Science courses each semester. TAs, peer mentors, and course instructors are present to guide you and answer your questions, as you work on homework and prepare for assessments. View the course schedule, as course-specific sessions alternate daily.
- Participate in open study sessions and take a break in the chill space: BYOF(riends) or make new ones in this self-directed space, open every day. Enjoy free hot drinks and relaxing activities (e.g. puzzles, colouring, cards, etc.) before returning to studying.
Schedule - Winter 2026
Stay tuned for the winter schedule, which will be released in early January.
