CollegeOSGet started

For parents and families

You should not have to become your student's project manager.

Finding registrar dates, checking on aid, reminding about deadlines. It adds up to a quiet second job. CollegeOS helps students manage those moving pieces themselves. More independence for them. Less managing college for you.

Send it to my student

30 days free, no card needed. Then $9.99/month or $59.99/year (about $5 a month).

No account needed

Send it to your student

Your student sets it up on their phone in about five minutes. If they want you in the loop, they invite you afterward — you never have to sign up first.

Found this for college: CollegeOS turns your syllabi and class schedule into one calendar and plans study time before exams. You decide what (if anything) I see. 30 days free: https://mycollegeos.com/for-students

60-second video

Support without taking over

One minute on how your student stays ahead of tuition, move-in and finals week, and how they decide what you see.

A parent smiling at her phone at the kitchen table in the morning, a red coffee mug in front of her.

Monday morning

The weekly update, without the phone call.

See what's coming in the categories your student chose to share, so your next conversation can be about how they're doing, not what's due.

More independence for them

Their syllabi, Canvas and school dates become their own plan, with next steps they can see every day. You don't have to be the reminder system.

A weekly summary you didn't have to ask for

What's coming up next week in the categories your student shares, delivered on a day and time they pick.

When they ask, it's clear

Before a break or a form deadline, CollegeOS may suggest your student ask for help. They decide whether to ask, edit the request, choose who gets it and control what's shared.

Heads-ups without the details

Before a heavy week, your student can send a heads-up like "3 exams and 2 deadlines." Counts only, never class names or grades.

Your student stays in control

Permissions are per person and per category, and can be paused or switched off anytime. Notes, journals, study reflections and AI conversations are never shared.

Works for tutors and mentors too

Add a tutor for one class, with a set end date, and nothing beyond that class is shared.

Questions people ask

Can I see my college student's grades?

Only if they choose to share that. Federal privacy rules mean colleges won't hand you records, and CollegeOS works the same way: your student switches on each category, such as upcoming deadlines or move-in dates, and can pause it any time.

How can I help my college student stay organized without nagging?

You get a weekly summary and optional reminders about the dates they've shared, so you already know what's coming and can offer help at the right moment instead of asking what's due.

What does a parent actually see?

Whatever your student allows, category by category: school admin deadlines, move-in and travel dates, exam weeks, or a weekly overview. Notes, journals and their AI conversations are never shared.

Will CollegeOS ask me for help on my student's behalf?

No. CollegeOS may suggest that your student ask for help, for example before a break or a heavy week, but nothing is sent unless they review it, choose the person and send it themselves.

Do I need my own account?

Not to get started. Send CollegeOS to your student first. If they want you in the loop, they invite you and you get a free login with a simple dashboard.

Can grandparents, a mentor or a tutor be included?

Yes. A student can invite several supporters, including a tutor limited to one class with an access end date.

How much does it cost?

Every new account gets 30 days free with no card. After that it's $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year (about $5 a month), and you can cancel anytime. Supporter logins are free.
