The percent can be wrong
Brightspace often counts work that isn't graded yet as a zero, and it doesn't know the drop rules in your syllabus.
Gradeping applies your drops and tells a missed assignment from one that just isn't graded yet.
Made for Purdue students on Brightspace
Know your real grade and GPA. In one click.

Why Gradeping
Brightspace shows numbers. It doesn't give answers.
If you've ever opened six classes one at a time, squinted at a percent, and still not known where you stand, this is for you.
There's no GPA anywhere
Brightspace never shows your GPA, so you end up doing credit-hour math in a spreadsheet.
Gradeping shows your semester and cumulative GPA, with credit hours pulled from Purdue's catalog.
"What do I need on the final?"
Weighted categories, drops, and bonus points make that a guess.
Pick a letter, and Gradeping tells you the average you need on everything that's left.
Checking class by class
Opening every course just to see if anything new was posted takes forever.
One click on "Ping grades" checks every class and shows what's new since last time.

Questions
Good questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ads, no paid version, and no account.
Is this made by Purdue?
No. Gradeping is an independent project made by a student. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Purdue University or D2L, the company behind Brightspace.
Why is my grade different from Brightspace?
Usually because Brightspace counts ungraded work as zero, or doesn't know a drop rule from your syllabus. Gradeping shows a "Why?" button on any class where the numbers differ, listing exactly what's different.
Your instructor's gradebook is always the official grade.
Does it send my syllabus or grades to an AI service?
No. If your Chrome has its built-in on-device AI, Gradeping uses that, and it runs on your computer. Otherwise it reads the syllabus with simple keyword matching. Either way, nothing is uploaded.
Can it change my grades or submit anything?
No. It only reads your gradebook, assignments, and syllabus. What-if scores are only shown in Gradeping.
I'm not at Purdue. Can I use it?
Not yet. Gradeping works with Purdue's Brightspace for now. Other schools may come later.
Which browsers does it work in?
Gradeping is built for Google Chrome on a computer.
Stop guessing your grades.
Add Gradeping to Chrome and see where you really stand in every class, in about a minute.
