It’s that time of the year again! Before we can go off and enjoy the long-awaited holidays, we have to get through the most dreaded season – finals. Here are a few ways the Illinois app can make things easier!
Campus Reminders
Campus reminders show you all the essential dates like drop deadlines, reading day, and more. Use this tool to stay on top of important activities you might forget during the busy exam season.

Study Groups
Studying in groups can be helpful and much more enjoyable. With Groups, you can create your own study group and use all the included tools to organize study sessions and keep in touch. Share announcements and topics that everyone in your group can discuss, send out polls so your group can pick the best dates and locations for getting together. You can even host your own Events that everyone can add to their calendars.
