With the semester flying by and the holidays in sight, students must face one final hurdle: exam season. To help make those study sessions a little bit easier, eligible Canadian university and college students can now get the Google Gemini student plan at no cost for one year, along with advanced study tools.

Here are five ways to use Gemini to stay ahead this school year.

1. Sign up for your 12-month student plan, free of charge.

Starting today, eligible university and college students in Canada can unlock more of Gemini with one year of Google AI Plus, free of charge (auto-renews at $6.99/mo unless cancelled. Cancel anytime) 1 . This offer unlocks 2x higher usage limits in Gemini, 2 Gemini in Google apps like Gmail, 400GB of storage and more.

2. Get organized with the new student hub.

New in the Gemini app, we’ve built a dedicated hub 3 to get you started with all of Gemini's tools and offers, just for students. The hub helps keep you organized; start a study notebook, create flashcards, take a practice quiz and more. As Gemini creates more learning tools, you’ll find them here in your student hub.

Access it at gemini.google.com/students.

3. Set up your study notebooks.

Studying can feel overwhelming when you don’t know what to tackle first. That’s why we launched study notebooks 4 in June to guide you step-by-step through the learning process. Once you’ve uploaded your own class materials like lecture notes, Gemini sets up your study notebook with a gameplan to break down your learning topics. It gives you the option to take a diagnostic quiz to identify your unique knowledge gaps so that it can craft custom, bite-sized lessons and quizzes for you — complete with a real-time progress dashboard to track your milestones.

Gemini can help schedule your key dates (like exams and assignment due dates) in Google Calendar from your syllabus — with your permission. And with access to Google AI Plus, you can create even more notebooks with even more sources. Get started here or click “+ New notebook” in the student hub.

4. Dive deeper with interactive visualizations.

Prefer learning with visuals? With interactive visualizations, 5 Gemini can generate functional 3D simulations to help you better understand the topic you’re asking about. Responses include visual elements — like tables, grids, and simulations — made specifically for your question. For example, ask about a topic that could be explained visually, like “show me how DNA works in 3D,” and you’ll be able to interactively rotate and zoom into a 3D DNA structure. Or ask to watch a pendulum trade energy back and forth, or learn about cash burn rates through an interactive table.

5. Talk through research with Gemini Live.

Gemini Live provides a natural, conversational way to study — especially on the go. You can talk through your problem set or chat through materials from your Drive, and now when you want to explore a topic in more depth, Gemini Live will be ready.

Now you can even use Deep Research in Gemini Live 6 so you can launch comprehensive, multi-step research reports and chat with Gemini about them. Just ask Gemini to research a topic, then feel free to close the chat, lock your screen, or keep chatting about other things. Gemini works asynchronously in the background and sends a notification when your report is ready. Once it is, you can chat through the results, ask follow-up questions, or refine the details hands-free.

By seamlessly switching from typing to talking — while keeping the full context of your deep research report front and center — Gemini Live truly becomes the ultimate conversational study partner.

Whether your goal this semester is to stay effortlessly organized, explore a new major, or ace your exams, Gemini’s here to help. It’s your personalized study buddy, grounded in all of your class materials ready to help you tackle whatever comes your way.
