What changed, and when.

A final grade calculator

It has a page of its own at gradus.ca/final-grade-calculator. Enter your grade so far and what the final is worth, or every mark on the syllabus with its drop-the-lowest rules, and it shows the mark you need. It works without an account and saves nothing. Press Keep this course and the marks are already in your tracker when you sign up, with nothing to retype. Share this result makes a link that opens with your numbers in it.

The law school GPA calculator takes your transcript

The page at gradus.ca/olsas-gpa-calculator used to hold a one-course sample. Now you choose your university, enter your courses by year, and see your OLSAS cumulative GPA out of 4.00, converted course by course on the scale the OUAC assigns your university. Beside it are the years three schools say they read: Toronto's best three, Queen's top two and Western's last two. Underneath is what each of the eight Ontario law schools states it considers, with a link to its own page. Keep these years puts a percentage transcript into your tracker when you sign up.

What's new, at the top

This page has a tab in the header now. Until today the only way here was a link in the footer.

Ask a question, or send an idea

The form on the known issues page takes three kinds of message now: a bug, a question, or an idea. Questions go to support@gradus.ca and a person answers them. Settings has an Ask a question row that opens the form.

Signing back in after a quiet spell

When the tracker signed you out for sitting idle and you signed in again, it signed you straight back out. That is fixed: sign in once and you stay in.

Drop the whole term at once

The syllabus drop takes several files now, one course per file. Each is read in turn and lands on its own row with its weights and dates to look over; leave out any you don't want, then one press adds every course. Dropping one file works exactly as before.

Sessions end when you stop

Leave the tracker for 45 minutes and you are signed out, on every device, not only in the tab you left open. A session also ends after twelve hours however busy you are. On a shared or library computer, that is the point. Your grades are safe either way; sign in and carry on.

Signing out leaves nothing behind

Sign out, delete your account, or let the 45 minutes run out, and your grades are cleared from that browser as well as the session ending. Sign in again and they come straight back from your account. A browser that held someone else's term now starts from your account's copy, never the other way round.

Confirming your email takes one press

The link in the confirmation email now opens a page with a Confirm button instead of confirming on arrival. Mail scanners open links before you do; they don't press buttons. If yours already showed as confirmed, nothing changes.

One way in

Signed out, the site shows Sign in and Create account and nothing else that opens the tracker. The sample course on the home page is where to try the maths first.

The tracker is yours, with an account

Opening the tracker now asks you to sign in or create a free account first, and a new account starts empty: no sample student, no sample courses to clear. Try the maths on the home page's sample course before you sign up. The teacher tool stays free and needs no account.

Reminders that land at one time of day

A reminder for "the day before" now arrives at your reminder time the day before, 9:00 AM unless you change it, instead of at 7:00 two days early. Anything worth a quarter of the grade or more reminds a week ahead, three days ahead and the morning of; smaller work gets less. Signed in, you get one email a day with today's reminders and the week's due list, not one per reminder.

Today shows the week

A seven-day strip on Today puts a dot on each day something is due, coloured by course and sized by weight. The list underneath groups by this week, next week and later, says in words when each item will remind you, and keeps its controls behind one small "change".

Courses sets up, Grades keeps score

Courses is where a term is built: assessments, weights, dates, drop rules and the syllabus. Grades is where marks go in and where your standing, projection and what-you-need live. Nothing was removed, only put in one place each. Course rows show how far through the work you are.

Reminders you can switch off, and a tidier list

Each item on Today shows its due date and its next reminder on one line, with a Remind picker to add one and a bell to switch reminders off for that item. Turn them back on any time.

Course rows show progress

On Courses, each row says how many assessments are graded and what is due next, without opening the course.

Ask, in the header

The orb also opens from an Ask button in the header on a laptop or desktop. It stays in the corner everywhere, as before.

Arrange assignments your way

On a course, drag a row by its handle, or arrange the whole list by due date, kind, name or weight. The order sticks, and the Sheet follows it.

A term summary above the Sheet

The Sheet layout on Grades opens with your session average, your median course, a watch list, and a bar chart of every graded assessment by score band.

A free gradebook for teachers

gradus.ca/teacher: paste a roster, add assessments with weights, enter scores, and read averages, Ontario levels, a distribution and a watch list as you type. No account, and it starts from a blank template or a sample class.

Reminders, one line per deadline

Today now lists every pending assignment with its next reminder time, says why when there is none, and lets you add one by hand. Assignments with no date are listed with a link to set one.

Delete and reorder courses from the list

Each course row has a bin and up and down arrows. The order is yours, not alphabetical.

Confirm a guessed date in one press

When a syllabus gave an exam window instead of a day, the amber question mark is now a Confirm button. No retyping.

Email confirmation you can see

A signed-in account says whether its address is confirmed, on Today and under Settings, Account, with a fresh link one press away if the first one expired.

Settings, one row per setting

Every settings page is a heading, a line on what it governs, and rows with the control on the right. Backup, restore, cloud copy and the calendar feed are real buttons.

Known issues and a report form

gradus.ca/issues lists what is unfinished and sends your report straight to the person building Gradus.

The course target, explained

The panel opens with your own numbers: how much is graded, where you sit, how much is left, and what each row means.

Grades page with Board and Sheet layouts

A card per course with its reading, and a Sheet that lays every course out like a gradebook, columns grouped by kind, each cell dated and editable.

Reminder settings on the web

How much warning, quiet hours, weight-aware cadence and muted courses, the same four controls the phone app has.

Profile

Photo, name, program and year, shown in the header and on your record.

A Due field when you add an assignment

Adding a course by hand now sets up its reminders, because the due date is asked for at the point of entry.

Browser alerts, stated plainly

Today says whether browser alerts are on, off or blocked, and that email needs a signed-in account.

Syllabus assignments reach the calendar and the reminders

Due dates parsed from a syllabus used to show on Today only. They now feed the calendar download, the subscription feed and the daily email too.

OMSAS, OLSAS and ORPAS across every year

Past terms filed with their courses convert course by course, the way the application services do it. Terms saved as a bare average are named as excluded rather than averaged in.

A calendar you can subscribe to

One link for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook that keeps every confirmed due date current, with a one-time download as the fallback.

Accounts

Sign in with email and password or Google. An account keeps a cloud copy of your grades and turns on the daily email reminder.

Delete your account from inside the app

Removes the account, the cloud copy and any subscription record. Grades on your device stay.
