Class-level means the calculator shows you what you need overall in a course. Task-level (Pro) goes deeper — it breaks down what you need on specific assignments, quizzes, or exams.
View your grade summary
BetterCampus pulls your grades from Canvas and shows them in one place so you can track your progress, see trends, and figure out what grades you need to hit your goals.

The Smart Grades Page displays:

How the GPA calculator helps
The calculator shows you what score you need on future assignments to reach your goal. For example, if you're aiming for an A in a class, it'll tell you exactly what you need to score on the final to get there.

Common questions
Why aren't my grades showing?
Make sure you're logged in to Canvas and viewing a Canvas page. BetterCampus only activates when you're on your school's Canvas site. If you're still having trouble, try refreshing the page.
How often do grades update?
Grades sync from Canvas when you load the page. If your instructor just posted a new grade, refresh the page to see the latest.
Can I set different goals for different classes?
With the Free plan, you get one default goal. With Pro, you can set custom goals for each class individually.
