What is iGrad?
iGrad is the app to track your university progress, for students who are frustrated with the limited features the university provides, by students who are frustrated by the limited features the university provides.
iGrad offers users the ability to create custom courses and graduation requirements, ensuring the maximum degree of flexibility when planning and keeping track of your progress
iGrad also retrieves data directly from NUS Mods, ensuring that module information is always up to date.
iGrad calculates your CAP at every step, ensuring you never have to use a CAP calculator again
Finally, the iGrad team is always open to feedback and suggestions from the public will always be followed up on.
iGrad was built with every NUS student in mind. Our custom course builder allows you to build the course of your dreams.
We are sick of counting our MCs at the beginning of every semester too. Easily see how many MCs you have left in order to apply for graduation.
A course is simply a group of requirements. It is also how we keep track of your overall CAP and MCs.
A requirement consists of at least one module. Fulfill all modules within a requirement to complete it.
