Short, because the app is free and the honest terms are short. Last updated 5 August 2026.
Roboforbes is a free tool for Columbia and Barnard students that brings course reviews, degree requirements and scheduling together in one place. It is built and run by a Columbia student. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official service of Columbia University or Barnard College.
Requirements, prerequisites and course offerings are read from Columbia's published bulletin and course evaluations, and they can be out of date, incomplete, or wrong. Where we are unsure, the app says so rather than guessing. Confirm anything that decides your degree with your adviser or the registrar before you act on it. Nothing here is academic advice and no plan built here is a guarantee of graduation.
Sign in with a @columbia.edu or @barnard.edu account, and use it as a student would. Do not scrape it, resell it, or use it to harass anyone. Reviews are other students' words, quoted from their sources; treat them as opinion.
The service is provided as is. It may be slow, break, or go away. Nobody is being billed, and nobody is owed a refund.
You can have your account and data deleted at any time by emailing [email protected] from your school address. See the privacy page for what is stored and why.
