Study group scheduling poll
A weekly hour that works around everyone's classes.
A scheduling poll for a weekly study group: everyone marks the hours they're usually free around classes and work, and the best regular time rises to the top. Nobody needs an account to answer.

- Sundays, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm · 4 of 5 · Jo can't make it
- Mondays, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm · 4 of 5
How to set it up
- Check the hoursIt asks about every day of the week, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, an hour at a time. Narrow it to the hours the library is open, if you meet there.
- Send it to the groupShare the link with your classmates. Nobody needs an account.
- Find the timeThe best times show the hours most people are free every week.
- Tell the groupA days-of-the-week poll has no date to lock in. Tell everyone the time in the chat, and close the poll.
What helps
- Ask people to mark their usual week, not exam week.
- Two hours in a row is a good length for a session. Look for a stretch that long.
- Book a room at the library once you've settled on the time.
- Next term, make a new one from this template. Everyone's classes will have changed.
Something to send with the link
Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.
Questions people ask
- Why days of the week rather than dates?
- Because you're after a regular time. People answer “Wednesdays at 4:00 pm” rather than one particular Wednesday.
- Can we meet more than once a week?
- Yes. Pick the top two best times, as long as they're on different days.
- Do people need an account?
- No. They mark their hours, type a name and save.
