What Is the Semester Dashboard Template?

The Semester Dashboard is an all-in-one academic planning system designed to help students manage an entire semester without scattering information across different apps and documents.

It combines daily academic work—such as courses, assignments, exams, and class notes—with broader semester planning, including academic goals, preparation tasks, weekly schedules, and study-related expenses.

Each course also has space for grade targets, instructor information, office hours, syllabus details, assessment weights, and study strategies, making it easier to understand both current responsibilities and long-term priorities.

Key Features
