Guelph
SyllaBuddy for University of Guelph students.
Every Guelph course outline you upload becomes one calendar, a daily to-do, and a chat that answers “what do I need on the final” from your actual syllabus. It reads scans, reads each document twice, and pulls in your CourseLink calendar too.
Works with CourseLink
Guelph runs D2L Brightspace. Connect your personal calendar feed and every due date a professor posts appears next to what's in the outline, with duplicates hidden.
Built for outlines like these
Any course, any faculty. A PDF is a PDF.
Why CourseLink alone misses things
CourseLink only shows what a professor entered inside it with a due date attached. That is accurate for what's there and silent about everything else: a midterm announced only in the outline, an in-class quiz, homework on an outside platform, a textbook opt-out deadline. The course outline is where those live, which is why SyllaBuddy reads it first and treats the CourseLink feed as a second source.
Connect your CourseLink calendar
About three minutes, once. After that it keeps itself up to date.
- Sign in to CourseLink in a browser. The Pulse app can't give you the link.
- Open Calendar from the top navigation.
- Open the calendar settings (the gear), tick Enable Calendar Feeds, and save.
- Click Subscribe, choose All calendars so every course is included, and copy the URL.
- In SyllaBuddy, go to You, then Connect, and paste it.
How Guelph grades
Guelph records your marks as percentages rather than converting them to grade points, so the number on your transcript is the number you earned.
SyllaBuddy tracks your marks as percentages against the weights in each outline, which works the same on any scale. For the full Guelph letter table and the registrar's own wording, see the Guelph grading scale on cutoffs.ca.
Three minutes, then it runs your term
- Sign up with any email. Pick University of Guelph, your term dates, and how many courses you're taking.
- Upload each course outline as a PDF. About a minute each, scans fine. Add your timetable so class times and rooms show up too.
- Open it each morning. Tick things off. Ask it questions. Push it to Google or Apple Calendar if you'd rather live there.
Questions from Guelph students
Does SyllaBuddy work with CourseLink?
Yes, two ways. It reads your Guelph course outlines directly, which is where most dates and weights actually live, and you can paste your personal CourseLink calendar feed so anything a professor posts there shows up alongside, with duplicates removed.
What grading scale does Guelph use?
Guelph records your marks as percentages rather than converting them to grade points, so the number on your transcript is the number you earned. The full letter-to-percentage table, with the registrar source, is on cutoffs.ca.
Why doesn't my CourseLink calendar show every assignment?
An LMS calendar only shows items a professor created inside CourseLink with a due date attached. Midterms announced only in the outline, in-class quizzes, and homework on outside platforms often never appear. Uploading the outline fills those gaps.
Is SyllaBuddy affiliated with University of Guelph?
No. It's an independent study tool that works with any course outline. University of Guelph doesn't endorse it, and the logo belongs to the university.
