My online study groups utilize the Zoom meeting platform. Be sure you have downloaded the Zoom application prior to your first online study group and that you are a registered Zoom user with a free account. Meetings typically begin at 1 PM Pacific (California) time unless otherwise noted.
Because space is limited in the in-person study groups, prepayment is required to hold your spot.
