What it is

AlbertPlus is a free, open-source platform for NYU students planning courses, building schedules and tracking degree progress. Its web app is the main course-planning interface, and a browser extension connects with NYU’s Albert website. Students can browse course and program information, check class availability and create schedules. The web app can parse an uploaded degree progress report PDF in the browser, extract completed courses and grades, and compare them with program requirements. Parsing occurs client-side, so the academic record is not sent to the server; extracted course information is stored in Convex under the authenticated user’s ID. AlbertPlus gathers course and offering data from NYU’s public catalog and Albert public class search, including possible instructor, location, meeting-time, section-status and corequisite details. Clerk handles sign-in and sessions, Convex supplies backend services, and scraping runs on Cloudflare Workers. The feature section is marked WIP, and the repository uses the MIT License.
