Notion school dashboard template

✨ Link to Template (Click “Duplicate” on the top right to get started!)

I started using Notion a little over a year ago to keep track of my academic life, and I’ve been in love with it ever since. I really like how versatile yet robust it is — I use it to write notes for my classes (especially for Computer Science, since it supports code blocks), plan out the courses I need for my degree, and keep track of all of my assignments. As someone who’s usually terribly disorganized and forgetful, I always love finding new tools and methods to keep my life on track.

I made a school dashboard with Notion recently, which organizes everything school-related into one holistic, easy-to-navigate view. This free-to-use template is a slight improvement of the school dashboard I personally use. Space headers can be found in ESA/Hubble’s wallpaper gallery.

💡 How To Use

Create a new course

1. Click the little arrow next to the blue New button in the Courses section and select the ⭐ New Subject template.
2. Now you can fill out the course information under the properties at the top, add a header, change the icon, etc

(The above method also works if you’re in the Academic Plan or Course Schedule page.)

Start keeping track of assignments

1. Scroll down to the Assignments calendar and click on the + button on the day the assignment is due.
2. Under the Course property on the assignment’s page, create a new option for your new course (you can change the color to match that of the course option you set above).
3. Now navigate back to the dashboard and click on your new course.
4. Under the Assignments section, click on Filter and select the course (“Where Course is [course]”)

(Still trying to figure out how to link the Courses and Assignments databases so that you don’t have to create what’s essentially the same course option twice, but I haven’t figured out a clean way to do it.)
