Why create a student portal with Softr?


This free student portal template lets you build a custom app on top of your Airtable data, to streamline communication and information-sharing between students and teachers.


This template provides students with a single access point to various academic resources and information, such as course lists, course schedules, course documents, and peer and teacher information. This reduces the need for multiple logins to separate systems, enabling students to keep track of their academic life in real-time.

What can I do with this student portal template?

The main purpose of this template is to provide students with a single access point to various academic resources and information. Here are the workflows it supports:

Account and login management

Course list and calendar

Professors can add new courses with relevant details, with convenient layouts for students and staff to follow.

Course management

Responsive design

Allow users to access the student portal from any device.

"The fact that I can allow different users to access different information is brilliant. Homeroom teachers track their own students, and specialist teachers access all the students they're working with from all the different homerooms."

Pascal Vallet School Principal, United Nations International School

Frequently asked questions

A student portal is an online gateway where student and university staff can log in and access important course and program information such as course schedule, exam dates, learning assets, and so on.

The most important thing that characterizes a good student portal is being the single source of truth for all the information related to the educational process. It's important that both students and professors get access to everything they need through the portal.

As soon as you click the Use the template button, you'll be immediately taken to Softr studio and can start working on the template. If you don't have a Softr account, you'll be prompted to register first (a Free account will work just fine).

All the Softr templates are completely free of charge and can be used with any of the Softr subscription plans. However, Free and Starter plans have a limitation on the number of application users, so you might need to consider a higher subscription plan if you need more people to have access.
