Gradescope Institutional Trial
All Gradescope users can try out the full set of features and assignments available with an Institutional License for one term.
Overview
Gradescope offers two plans: Gradescope Basic and Gradescope Institutional. If your institution does not have a Gradescope license, you can try out the full set of features through an Institutional Trial for one term with up to three courses. After your Institutional Trial term ends, you can continue using the new Basic plan for free.
Love the features of Gradescope Institutional? We’re glad! Partner with us through our Gradescope Advocate Program to extend your trial while we work together to secure an Institutional license for you & your colleagues.

Frequently Asked Questions
To provide Gradescope customers with the best possible experience and support, we are moving certain advanced features (online assignments, the ability to duplicate an assignment, adding course staff, and AI-assisted roster matching) from our free Basic plan to only be available in our paid Institutional plan. Gradescope’s product philosophy has always been to develop tools that will help instructors provide more consistent feedback and grade student work faster. Over time, our tool-set has matured to support some of the most complex course and institutional requirements, resulting in many exciting enhancements that our free users have been able to enjoy. However, these features and functions aim to support assessment goals across an entire institution. For that reason, we are realigning the features available for our Basic and Institutional license models as of May 31, 2023.
