You don’t need an account to search your courses or track what’s due. Signing in with Google adds the features that need an account, such as asking questions, adding study blocks to your Google Calendar, and sending files to Lectra on your iPad. It’s the same Scope account you use in Lectra and Polya. To learn about your account, see Your Scope account.

​
What signing in adds

Without an account, you can search all your courses, see what’s due, pin and dismiss work, change how Canvas looks, use the GPA calculator, focus timer, notes, and to-dos, and download a course’s PDFs to your computer. Signing in adds:

​
Sign in

1

Open the Scope popup

Click the Scope icon in your Chrome toolbar.
2

Start sign-in

Click More actions (the three dots), then choose Sign in with Google. You can also open Settings and click Sign in under Account.
3

Choose your Google account

A Google window opens. Choose the account you want to use. Use the same account you use for Lectra and Polya.
4

Allow access

Google asks you to let Scope see your name and email address, see and edit events in your Google Calendar, and see your list of calendars. Allow access to finish.
When you’re signed in, Settings shows your name and email at the top, and the More actions menu shows Account instead of Sign in with Google.

​
Why Scope asks for your calendar

Scope reads your calendar only for something you asked for, or for the morning briefing:
  • To find free time before it adds a study block.
  • To show your week next to a class in Berkeley’s Schedule Planner.
  • To add events you choose, such as syllabus deadlines, study blocks, or a class.
Your calendar events are read into your browser for that task, and Scope doesn’t keep them. For details, see Privacy and your data.

Sign out

1

Open Settings

Click the Scope icon, then click the Settings icon (the gear).

Scroll to the bottom and click Sign out.
Signing out stops the features that need an account, including the morning briefing. Your courses, pins, notes, and settings stay in this browser. To remove them too, see Clear Scope’s data from this browser.

​
Remove Scope’s access to your Google account

Signing out stops Scope from using your Google account in this browser. To remove Scope’s access completely, go to your Google Account, open the page that lists third-party apps and services with access to your account, and remove Scope. To delete your Scope account and the data kept with it, see Your Scope account.
