As used in canon:

   yIHaDqu'
   Study him well! TKD

   tlhIngan Hol DaHaDrup'a'?
   Are you ready to study Klingon? CK

   yIHaDqa'!
   Start studying again! CK

   HaDlu'meH, QuSlu'meH, SuDlu'meH lojmIt Da logh Hop Hut tengchaH.
   vaj loghDaq lenglaHtaH Humanpu'
   space station Deep Space Nine is the gateway for the exploration,
   intrigue and enterprise that mark the continuation of the human
   adventure into space... DS99

   jIHaD
   I study. KLS

   tlhIngan tIgh DaHaDrup'a'?
   [one of Marc Okrand's usual inscriptions on books/photos]

  tlhIngan Hol DaHaD -vaj choquvmoH.  Qapla'!
   [Marc Okrand's inscription in DloraH's TKD]

The derived noun {HaDwI'} "student" isn't listed in the glossaries, but has 
been used by Okrand:

   qep'a' wejDIchDaq jatlhtaH tlhIngan Hol HaDwI'pu'.
   (startrek.klingon [11/1996])

  tlhIngan Hol HaDwI'
   [Marc Okrand's inscription in Alan Anderson's TKD]

{HaD} also appears in the noun {yejHaD}:

   An organization dedicated to scholastic pursuits or research is a
   {yejHaD} "institute" or "institution" or a {yej'an} "society". The
   distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the
   former is usually - but not always - used for larger organizations.
   (HolQeD 4.4)

Cf. also the verbs {ghoj} "learn" and {Qul} "research".  A useful noun is 
{paQDI'norgh} "teachings", which can be studied; some, in fact, use it to 
refer to Okrand's "canon" which we study and analyze incessantly.
