Study Hall

As part of the structure provided by the Greystone program, students are required to participate in an organized 3-hour Study Hall, Sunday through Friday evenings from 7 pm to 10 pm . The Study Hall will provide students the opportunity to focus on their course work in a quiet and distraction-free environment. By routinely devoting a specific block of time to their studies, students will develop a habit that will serve them well throughout their pursuit of higher education.

Greystone recommends that students allocate at least 3 hours of study for each hour of class time to accomplish their required reading, prepare questions, review class notes, study for quizzes and exams, conduct research and write papers. Obviously, the 18 hours per week dedicated to the Study Hall is not sufficient to meet the total number of study hours recommended, therefore it is up to the student to find the additional time within their daily schedule to make up the difference.

Part of the growth and maturity process afforded to college students requires them to manage their time in order to maximize their academic return. Information provided in the Freshman Seminar (IDST) will help students plan and schedule to ensure studying is their first priority. Successful management of time will result in higher grades and more free time to participate in the many activities on campus. Greystone students are held responsible and accountable for the management of their time and establishment of their routine.
