Disclaimer
Accuracy disclaimer for GradeNeeded grade calculators, planner tools, and AI study features.
No warranties — use at your own risk
GradeNeeded tools, calculators, AI features, planner functions, reminders, and all related services are provided 'as is' and 'as available' without warranty of any kind. GradeNeeded makes no warranty that results will be accurate, complete, error-free, or suitable for any particular academic purpose. Your use of GradeNeeded is entirely at your own risk.
Tool accuracy
GradeNeeded tools provide estimates based on the numbers you enter. Results depend on accurate inputs and may not match every school's grading rules, instructor adjustments, or official gradebook calculations. Grade scales and GPA calculations vary by institution — results on GradeNeeded may not reflect your school's actual grading system.
Educational estimates only
The tools are meant for student planning and are not official academic advice, official school records, or a guarantee of any grade outcome. Nothing on GradeNeeded constitutes academic, legal, financial, or professional advice.
High school grade scales
High school grading systems vary significantly by school district and institution. GradeNeeded's calculators use common US grading conventions and may not reflect weighted GPA systems, honor/AP course bonuses, pass/fail courses, credit recovery programs, or other grading structures specific to your school. High school students should verify all results with their official school gradebook and counselor.
Course policies vary
Official grades may be affected by category weights, extra credit, rounding, curves, dropped assignments, late penalties, deadlines, credit rules, or instructor adjustments that differ from what you enter. GradeNeeded cannot account for grading policies it is not aware of.
Grade forecast limitations
The grade forecast in the planner estimates the score needed on remaining work to reach a target grade, based on the assignment grades and category weights you have entered. It does not account for extra credit, dropped assignments, curves, attendance grades, late penalties, or other instructor-specific adjustments. A forecast result is an estimate only — always verify your actual standing with your instructor and official gradebook.
Planner and reminder limitations
Planner features are meant to help organize schoolwork and priorities, but they do not replace your official syllabus, learning management system, school calendar, gradebook, or instructor instructions. Due date reminders — whether delivered by email or browser push notification — are a convenience feature and are not guaranteed. Delivery depends on your settings, email provider, device, browser, and network. Do not rely solely on GradeNeeded reminders to manage important academic deadlines.
AI disclaimer
Geno AI responses are generated by large language models and may contain errors, outdated information, hallucinations, or inaccuracies. AI-generated content should always be reviewed by the user before relying on it academically. AI-generated content is not a substitute for your professor, academic advisor, textbook, or authoritative course materials. Always verify important academic information with official sources. Syllabus Scanner: The Syllabus Scanner attempts to extract assignments, due dates, grade weights, grading scales, and other information from uploaded syllabus PDFs. This parsing may be incomplete, inaccurate, or missing items — especially for non-standard syllabus formats. Always review and correct the extracted class information against your actual syllabus. GradeNeeded is not responsible for missed assignments or incorrect grade configurations resulting from Syllabus Scanner errors. Grade forecasts: The live grade forecast is an estimate based on the grades and weights you have entered. It does not account for extra credit, curves, dropped assignments, late penalties, instructor adjustments, or other factors. A forecast should inform planning decisions, not replace official gradebook records. Geno explanations and study content: Geno AI study content — including flashcards, practice questions, summaries, and explanations — may contain factual errors, outdated information, or subject-matter inaccuracies. Verify all study content against your course materials before relying on it for exams or assignments. Community study sets: Study sets published to the community library are created by students and have not been reviewed or verified by GradeNeeded. Community study set content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information. Always verify community study set content against your official course materials. GradeNeeded is not responsible for academic consequences arising from reliance on community study set content. Streak bonuses: Streak-based bonus Geno message allocations are calculated by GradeNeeded's systems and are not guaranteed for any specific usage pattern. Bonus allocations may be adjusted or removed at GradeNeeded's discretion. Bonus messages are part of the free tier and are subject to the same daily usage terms as base messages. Canvas import: Data imported from Canvas LMS is based on what GradeNeeded can read via the Canvas API at the time of sync. Imported data may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate relative to your official Canvas gradebook. Always verify imported planner data against your official Canvas course. GradeNeeded is not responsible for missed assignments or incorrect configurations resulting from Canvas import errors. Planner recommendations: AI-powered planner suggestions and priority recommendations are informational planning outputs only. They do not replace official academic advice, advisor guidance, or your own judgment about academic decisions. GradeNeeded's AI features are designed to assist studying and planning — not to provide definitive academic, legal, medical, or professional answers. GradeNeeded is not responsible for academic or other consequences arising from a user's reliance on AI-generated content.
Degree progress limitations
The degree progress tracker is a personal organizational tool only. It does not connect to your school's official degree audit system, transcript, or registrar. Always verify credit requirements and graduation eligibility with your official advisor and school records. GradeNeeded is not responsible for any consequences — including failure to meet graduation requirements — arising from reliance on the degree progress tracker.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GradeNeeded disclaims all liability for any academic, financial, professional, or personal consequences arising from use of or reliance on GradeNeeded tools, calculators, AI responses, planner data, reminders, or any other feature. This includes, without limitation, incorrect grade calculations, missed deadlines, academic probation, loss of scholarships or academic standing, degree delays, or any other outcome. GradeNeeded's maximum liability for any claim is limited as described in the Terms of Service.
Confirm before making decisions
Use GradeNeeded as a planning tool, then confirm important academic decisions with your syllabus, official gradebook, advisor, school, or instructor. Never make academic decisions — including whether to drop a course, appeal a grade, apply for aid, or pursue a degree — based solely on information from GradeNeeded.
