Frequently asked questions

What is Syllabase?

Syllabase is a free, private all-in-one academic tracker for university and college students. It tracks your courses, assignments, grades, and attendance, shows your GPA on your school's real grading scale, and forecasts exactly what you need on each final.

Is Syllabase free?

Yes. The essentials are free forever — no credit card and no trial timer. Syllabase has no ads and never sells your data.

How does Syllabase calculate my GPA?

Syllabase uses your school's real grading scale — for example York's 9.0 scale, the University of Toronto's 4.0 scale, McMaster's 12-point scale, or Western's percentage system — and credit-weights your courses, so your GPA matches what your school actually reports.

Does Syllabase use AI on my grades or sell my data?

No. Syllabase never runs AI on your grades, shows no ads, uses no trackers, and never sells your data. Your data is locked to your account, and you can export or delete it at any time.

Do I have to upload my syllabus?

Never. You enter the facts that matter — assignment dates and weights — which aren't copyrighted. There are no document uploads.

Which schools does Syllabase support?

Syllabase supports the real grading scales of 16 Ontario universities and colleges, including York, the University of Toronto, McMaster, Western, Waterloo, Guelph, Toronto Metropolitan University, Ottawa, and Laurier. Don't see your school? Request it from Settings and we'll add it.

Is Syllabase an app I can install?

Yes. Syllabase is a progressive web app (PWA), so you can install it on iPhone, Android, or desktop and use it like a native app, with a home-screen icon.
