Before you install.
Windows won’t install or open tPortal. What now?
Two different Windows protections can stop an unsigned beta. Check which message you see before deciding what to do.
1. “Windows protected your PC”
This is SmartScreen. Only if you trust this download, click More info, then Run anyway. This lets the unsigned installer run despite the warning. You can use the demo instead.
2. “Smart App Control blocked an app that may be unsafe”
This one has no one-time override. Windows warns that turning Smart App Control off cannot be undone without reinstalling Windows. We do not recommend disabling a permanent Windows protection just to install this beta.
Use the interactive demo instead. A signed build will be offered here when it is available.
Where does my data live?
On your computer, in a tPortal folder under Documents. Your Quercus token is encrypted with the operating system's keystore. Nothing about your courses is uploaded to us.
Is this an official U of T app?
No. tPortal is built by students and is not affiliated with the University of Toronto or with Quercus.
More questions 5
Is it free?
Yes. tPortal is 100% free.
Does tPortal change anything on Quercus?
No. It reads with a personal access token you create in your Quercus settings, and it only reads. Marking something done in tPortal stays in tPortal.
Who can use it?
University of Toronto students. You sign in with a utoronto.ca or mail.utoronto.ca address and a six-digit code; there is no password to remember.
Is there a Mac version?
Yes. Download the Apple-signed and notarized Mac beta at the top of this page, open the disk image and drag tPortal to Applications.
Does it use AI?
Not unless you connect your own Claude account in Settings. Without one, tPortal shows what Quercus says, word for word, and every screen works the same.
