Terms of Use

What TurboTerp is

TurboTerp is a free, open-source app made by a UMD student. It brings campus info, a schedule builder, a four-year plan and a degree audit into one place.

The code is released under the Apache-2.0 license. These terms cover using the app and website, not the code.

Unofficial and not affiliated

TurboTerp is not affiliated with, endorsed by or run by the University of Maryland. It never asks for your Testudo credentials, and it never registers you for anything.

Not academic advising

Nothing here is academic advising. That includes the Advisor, the planner, the degree audit, credit estimates, pre-professional tracks and any suggestions or feedback.

Before you use the Advisor, it asks you to read a short agreement and sign it by typing your name. That agreement covers the same ground as this page, in more detail.

Data may be wrong or out of date

Catalog rules, courses, times, grades and campus info change, and we can get things wrong. Where it matters, TurboTerp shows the catalog year it used.

Your responsibility to check

You are responsible for confirming everything with your academic advisor and UMD's official degree audit before you register, drop a course or change programs.

No warranty

TurboTerp is provided as is and as available, with no promises about accuracy, completeness or uptime, and no warranty of any kind.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the people who make TurboTerp are not liable for any loss that comes from using it or relying on it. That includes extra semesters, tuition, fees, missed deadlines or other costs.

Acceptable use

Please don't scrape the site, overload it, or try to break or misuse it. Use it for yourself and be kind to the shared services it depends on.

Third-party data

TurboTerp shows data from other sources: UMD's Schedule of Classes, PlanetTerp, campus dining, LibCal, RecWell and Shuttle-UM GTFS. Each stays the property of its owner.

Shuttle-UM GTFS data is used under the Interline license, for non-commercial educational use.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version date at the top changes when we do. If the Advisor agreement changes in a way that matters, it asks you to sign again.
