LSC can help match you with study partners!

Find study partners! Form a study group! Studying with others is an effective study strategy, a great way to learn complex and challenging material, and can help you connect with peers! If you are a current Cornell University student looking for study partners (in-person or online), then you are in the right place. The LSC can help match you with other students in your classes! This service is only available to Cornell students.

Check back later this summer to sign up for Fall 2026 study partner matching!

Study Partner FAQs

How will my partner(s) and I get organized?
You and your study partners will determine when and how to study together. Use the LSC’s tips for setting your group’s agenda and making the most out of studying together.

What does LSC base these matches on?
LSC’s matching is based on what class you’ve requested study partners for. It is up study partners to determine when and where to meet, and if you’d prefer to meet in person or online.

What if my group doesn’t work out?
Sometimes matched students can’t find a time to meet that works for everyone, or one person is auditing and decides not to do group work after all, or someone drops the class, etc. If you’d like to request help with your group or even find new partner(s), please DO NOT fill out the webform again. Send an email to lscstudypartners@cornell.edu to let us know what’s going on, and we’ll try to help.

What about my privacy?
The information you provide on the request form goes to a secure database. When we’re able to make a match we send an email to the Cornell net ids of the students who expressed interest in finding study partners for the same course. Due to privacy rules we are not able to disclose which classes the student(s) receiving the matching email are taking. It’s kind of odd, but your first group assignment will be to figure it out!

What about academic integrity?
It is the responsibility of you and your study partners to understand and adhere to your instructor’s expectations regarding group work. If you are not sure, ask! See https://theuniversityfaculty.cornell.edu/dean/academic-integrity/code-of-academic-integrity/  for more info.
