What CourseLink is

CourseLink is a calendar and weekly study planner for college students. It brings classes, deadlines, study time, campus events, work shifts, friends, and forwarded professor emails into one calendar. Students can add syllabi as PDFs, Word files, photos, or pasted text; CourseLink extracts assignments and deadlines. The weekly planner lets students move tasks between days, estimate study time, track completion, and carry unfinished work forward.

CourseLink can place study blocks around busy times in Google Calendar and move them when new events arrive. It lists Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, two-way Google Calendar sync, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Students can forward email to TED for calendar updates and receive push reminders. They can also export a weekly plan as a PDF or share a read-only link with classmates. Assignment tracking, exam planning, and calendar sync are included. CourseLink is available on the web and iOS.
