Terms of use

Last updated 10 November 2026

By creating an account or using CourseLens, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy policy.

What CourseLens is

CourseLens is an independent, unofficial tool that shows your Canvas assessments and university timetable in one place. It is not made, endorsed or supported by Instructure (the maker of Canvas) or by any university.

Your account

• You must give a working email address and keep your password to yourself.
• You are responsible for everything done through your account.
• CourseLens can't reset forgotten passwords yet, so keep yours somewhere safe.

Your Canvas token and timetable link

• Only add a Canvas token and timetable link that belong to you.
• Your use of Canvas through CourseLens must also follow your university's rules and Canvas's terms.
• You can revoke your token in Canvas at any time, and clear it from CourseLens in Settings.

Acceptable use

Don't use CourseLens to:

• access anyone else's data;
• overload or attack the service;
• get around its security or rate limits;
• do anything unlawful.

We may suspend accounts that do any of these.

No guarantees

CourseLens is provided "as is" and is in beta. Dates, grades and predictions come from Canvas and your feed, and may be wrong, late or missing. Always check due dates and requirements in Canvas itself. To the extent the law allows:

• we are not liable for missed deadlines, lost marks or other loss from using the service;
• we are not liable if the service is unavailable.

Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be excluded.

Ending your use

You can stop using CourseLens and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may change or shut down the service. If we do, we will try to give notice where we can.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, we will update the date at the top of this page. Using CourseLens after a change means you accept the new terms. For questions, open an issue on GitHub.
