Study groups

Study group scheduling around lectures, shifts and commutes

Everyone's timetable is different and none of them are in a shared calendar. Propose a few study windows, share one link, and let the group vote on which one it can make.

How to find a study session time

1
Propose windows around the timetable
Offer slots in the gaps most people share, typically late afternoons and one weekend block. Two-hour blocks match a real session better than open-ended evenings.
2
Share one link in the course chat
Post the link where the group already talks. Classmates answer from their phone with no account and no email address, so response rates stay high even in a group of twenty.
3
Vote Yes, Maybe or No on each slot
Maybe is what a part-time job or a moveable seminar looks like. It keeps unsure people in the picture without you counting them as confirmed.
4
Lock the session and export it
Lock the winning slot and everyone adds it to Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, with the room or video link included so nobody has to search the chat for it.

Why this beats comparing timetables manually

Nobody has to screenshot their timetable. Each person only answers about the slots you are willing to run.
Silence stops being ambiguous. A No is a No, so you know when to propose different times instead of waiting.
Exchange and remote students see the slots in their own time zone, which matters when sessions run over video.
The live count shows the strongest slot immediately, so a group of fifteen can decide in an afternoon.
Free with no ads on the voting page, which matters when you are asking classmates to open a link you sent.

Ready to put this into a poll?

Tap a few times, share one link, and let the group vote. Most groups have the time settled the same day.

Groups that schedule this way

Exam revision groups

Short-notice sessions in the weeks before an exam, where availability changes every few days.

Group project teams

Assessed coursework where the team must meet repeatedly and attendance matters for the grade.

Language exchange and tutoring

Small groups meeting online across time zones, with automatic conversion for each participant.

Lab and seminar groups

Larger cohorts where you need a slot most people can make rather than perfect attendance.

Study group scheduling questions

Is it free for students?

Yes. Creating polls is free and the classmates you invite never pay or register.

Do classmates need an account?

No. They open the link, add their name and vote. Only the organizer signs in so they can manage the poll later.

How many people can vote on one poll?

There is no small cap, so it works for a group of four and for a cohort of forty. Larger groups usually benefit from fewer, better-chosen slots.

Can we schedule recurring weekly sessions?

Poll once to find the weekly slot that fits everyone's timetable, lock it, and set the repeat in your own calendar. Run a new poll when the term changes.

Can we add an online meeting link?

Yes. Attach your own link or let Decider create one, and it travels with the calendar invite once the session is locked.
