Getting started

Do I need a university email to sign up?+

No — any email works. Your university is selected separately on your profile so we can show the right courses. We may add lightweight verification later.

Can I use Stackwise for a university that isn't listed?+

Yes. You can browse public material, and you can request your university from the contact form. We add new universities in batches.

Is Stackwise free?+

Free for students during beta, and we're committed to keeping core features free for student users.

Uploading notes

What kinds of files can I upload?+

PDFs, images, and Markdown work best. Word and PowerPoint files are accepted but get converted into a preview. We strip metadata that could leak personal information from PDFs you upload.

What can't I upload?+

Paywalled textbooks, leaked exam keys, and material your university restricts. See our Community Guidelines for the full list.

Why was my note removed?+

Removals usually mean a copyright report, a community report, or a Guidelines violation. You'll get an email with the reason and a link to appeal.

Karma & profile

How do I earn karma?+

Uploads that get saved or upvoted by other students award karma. Helpful comments and verified summaries also count. Self-votes don't.

Can I lose karma?+

Posts that get reported and removed for serious violations subtract karma. Edits, redownloads, and downvotes don't.

What do badges mean?+

Badges mark milestones (first 10 uploads, course coordinator, top contributor of the week). They appear on your profile and show what you tend to focus on.

Account & privacy

How do I change my email or password?+

Profile → Settings. Email changes require confirming the new address. Password changes sign you out of other sessions.

How do I delete my account?+

Profile → Settings → Delete account. We remove your personal data within 30 days. Posts you uploaded stay live unless you remove them first.

Can I export my notes?+

Yes — Profile → Settings → Export. You'll get a zip with your uploads and a JSON of your activity.
