A Better myGCC – Unofficial myGCC Upgrade

Unofficial upgrade for Grove City College's myGCC: Today dashboard, course planner, register-all, dark mode, AI. Not affiliated.

aBetterMyGCC is an unofficial extension for Grove City College students that makes the myGCC portal (my.gcc.edu) easier to use. It only shows information from your own myGCC account. TODAY DASHBOARD • Today's classes with times, rooms and professors, with the next class marked. Once classes are done for the day, it shows tomorrow's. • Chapel credits attended and still needed, student account balance, and the degree requirements you haven't met yet • Always shows the term that covers today, not whichever term you last looked at • Your GPA is hidden by default. Press and hold the GPA tile to show it; it hides again when you let go. • Dining widget: what's being served right now at Hicks and MAP, with a link to check the menu on your phone • Quick buttons for D2L (learning.gcc.edu) and CashNet (student financials) • Also on the My Info page PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE BEFORE YOU REGISTER • Press Save on any section in Add/Drop course search to add it to your plan • Every search result is marked "Fits your schedule" or "Conflicts with …", checked against your registered classes and your plan • Check "Only show sections that fit my schedule" to hide conflicts as you search • See your plan on a week calendar next to your current classes, with professor, days, times, seats and overlaps • Register all: aBetterMyGCC looks up each section's reference number and fills in myGCC's own Add by Reference form for you, six at a time. Registering is always your decision; you confirm first. Or use Load my plan to fill the boxes and press Add yourself. • Copy your plan as text (with reference numbers) or download it as a CSV spreadsheet • Your plan always matches the term selected on the site PLAN WITH AI AND ASK AI (OPTIONAL, BRING YOUR OWN KEY) • Plan with AI: describe the courses you need in plain English ("COMP 220, a 300-level HUMA, Spanish 202, nothing before 9") and the AI searches myGCC for sections that fit your schedule and adds them to your plan. You review it and register yourself. • Ask AI: ask a question in the search box ("How do I get a parking permit?") and get a short answer with links to the right myGCC or gcc.edu pages, including degree status sheets, the catalog and the student handbook. • Works with your own API key from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, xAI (Grok) or Google (Gemini), added on the extension's settings page. Use of the AI service is billed to your own account. No key, no AI: everything else works without one. FIND ANYTHING FAST • Press Ctrl K (⌘ K on Mac) or / on any myGCC page to jump to any page, course or service. The page index builds itself in the background after install. • Links to other sites open in a new tab, so you never get kicked out of myGCC. • Pages you hover over load in the background so they open faster. COMMUNITY TAB • A Community tab in the top bar links to student-made tools that the college doesn't offer, like a meal planner and a study tool. A CLEANER LOOK • GCC crimson, easier-to-read type, plenty of space • Light, dark, or match your computer. Dark mode fixes myGCC's hard-coded dark text and white boxes so every page stays readable. • Promo banners hidden (you can turn them back on) • A short welcome screen on first run lets you pick your look FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT • A Feedback button (bottom left) sends your note about aBetterMyGCC to the developer. Optionally include a screenshot of the page: Chrome asks you to share the tab, and the extension grabs one frame. Nothing is sent automatically; the note and screenshot are copied to your clipboard, and you send them yourself by email or Telegram. • A live log page (toolbar icon, then Open live log) shows what the extension is doing, including AI requests, to help with troubleshooting. It is only displayed while the page is open and is never saved. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything aBetterMyGCC reads stays in Chrome on your computer. Nothing is ever sent to the developer. • No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads • It contacts the college's public dining menu service (Nutrislice), which receives nothing about you • If you add your own AI key and use Plan with AI or Ask AI, your request and the related course or page text are sent to the AI service you chose, using your key. Nothing is sent unless you use it. TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT • Click the toolbar icon, then Open demo, to explore the features with a made-up student and sample data. The demo never contacts myGCC. aBetterMyGCC is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Grove City College. "myGCC" and "Grove City College" are used only to describe the site the extension works with.
