Install TridentSpeed

You need Chrome, Edge, Brave or Arc on a computer, and your UCSD login.

  1. Download the zip

    Leave it zipped. You’ll drag the zip itself onto the page in step 4.

    First build coming soon

    The first version goes up here very soon. Check back shortly.

  2. Open your extensions page

    Copy this address and paste it into a new tab’s address bar. Web pages aren’t allowed to link to it, so it has to be pasted.

    chrome://extensions

  3. Turn on Developer mode

    It’s the switch in the top-right corner (in Edge, at the bottom of the left sidebar). Leave it on: the browser turns off extensions from outside its store when it’s off.

  4. Drag the zip onto the page

    Drag the zip from your Downloads folder, or from the browser’s downloads list, and drop it anywhere on the extensions page. TridentSpeed appears with its switch on.

  5. Pin it, and sign in to TSS

    Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin TridentSpeed, so its button stays in view. Then sign in to TSS the usual way, with Duo.

    Open TSS ↗

Getting started

  1. Open a course in TSS’s Schedule of Classes. The TridentSpeed panel appears on the left.
  2. Click TridentSpeed’s button in the toolbar, then Open TridentSpeed for the planner: search, plans, the map, and booking.
  3. For grade data, sign in to SET when TridentSpeed’s button asks.
  4. To book at your enrollment window: add sections to the enrollment list on the Book in TSStab, then choose Schedule…. Keep Chrome open and your computer awake until it’s done.

Dragging didn’t work?

  1. Unzip the file. On a Mac, double-click it. On Windows, right-click it and choose Extract All.
  2. Move the folder somewhere it can stay, like Documents. The browser loads TridentSpeed from that folder every time, so don’t delete it.
  3. On the extensions page, with Developer mode on, click Load unpacked and choose the folder that has manifest.json in it.

Updating

When a new version is out, download it here and drag it onto the extensions page the same way. It replaces the old version, and your plans and settings stay.

Installed with Load unpacked? Unzip the new version into the same folder, replacing everything, then click the reload arrow on TridentSpeed’s card.

If something’s wrong

  • No panel in TSS: reload the page. TSS often answers “503” when it’s busy, and the panel retries too.
  • It says you’re signed out: click TridentSpeed’s toolbar button and use itsSign in button. Incognito windows have their own sign-in.
  • Chrome offers to disable developer mode extensions: keep TridentSpeed on.
  • A rating is missing: when a name could match two professors, TridentSpeed shows nothing instead of guessing.
  • Anything else: email tridentspeeducsd@gmail.com with what you clicked and what you saw.

Removing it

Open your extensions page and click Remove on TridentSpeed’s card. That deletes everything it saved on your computer. To have what it sent to the server deleted too, emailtridentspeeducsd@gmail.com.
