UTD Grades

UTD Grades is a tool that lets students view historical grade distributions from previously taught class sections.

Thousands of students use UTD Grades as a rough approximation for the difficulty of a class and to plan their academic coursework.

UTD Grades is a joint collaboration between Project Nebula maintainers and the Mercury, the student-run newspaper of UT Dalllas. To obtain the historical grades data, the Mercury submits a Freedom of Information Act request shortly after a semester ends, and then Project Nebula uploads that data to the UTD Grades database.

You can access UTD Grades here or at utdgrades.com.

History

UTD Grades was created by Bharat Arimilli, former web editor for the Mercury, based off a concept by UNT Grades, a website built by Jeffrey Wang while he was a student the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science at the University of North Texas. The project was built as a part of ACM UTD's Labs initiative and maintained by its team. In summer 2021, UTD Grades became a Project Nebula project to give it better focus.

In fall 2021, Project Nebula announced that UTD Grades would get an upgrade due for spring 2022. This upgrade would revamp the interface to provide more information to students.
