Hundreds of universities in 25+ countries around the world are using analysis.tool! Check out what our platform offers current students and educators below.

As part of our mission to fight climate change and equip the masses with the tools and know-how to build better buildings, cove’s education program is 100% free to students and faculty for academic work. Whether your program is an accredited department of Architecture or not, the suite of tools can become an integral part of your design studio instruction and can be leveraged to enrich your support courses in building performance and technologies.

Professors/ PhD Students planning to use the analysis tool for courses should initiate a university account by emailing [email protected] with proof of their educator or PhD status.

All other students need to reach out to their professors to gain access to the tool.

If you haven't received an activation email after signing up, check your junk mail and ensure @covetool.com (and/or app.covetool.com) is whitelisted by your IT support. If IT requires security documentation for whitelisting, it can be found here (section 5. Security and Privacy).

Please note:

Approval may take up to 5 business days as we verify details manually.

Professors designated as admins on the university account can add students at their discretion using the Admin Dashboard.

Students who wish to be included must contact their professor to be added to the mass import list or request addition through the Admin Dashboard.

If the professors have multiple students (more than 15) that need to be provided access, they can send an email to [email protected] with their institution's name and an Excel file with 3 columns with the list of students (including First Name, Last Name, and University Email Address, e.g., [email protected]). We will send a temporary password to the professor for distribution to students. Students can reset this password by selecting "Forgot password" on the login page (https://app.covetool.com/login/) and using their university email address.

International schools with unique enrollment requirements should contact us before account setup.

Please note:

Approval may take up to 5 business days as we verify details manually.

After one year or losing access to analysis, educators will need to reach out to us via the support email to renew the university accounts. Of course, this license is for academic work only. See the terms and agreement here for more information. If you use your academic license for commercial work, your account will be suspended and your projects deleted. If you are a returning student, you will NOT need to activate again. After you have been imported into the system, you are all set!

Since we give our software for free to students we do not provide live support but you can reach out to your TA/Professor and if they cannot resolve it, you can ask them to reach out to us via the support email or Livechat.

No one is a pro, so we have created the Help Center that contains articles, video tutorials, a glossary, and an extensive FAQ catalog. We have included everything we think you need in order to start your journey with analysis.tool. Also because of the high volume of commercial users we see on the app daily, cove does not provide live support for students. Instead, we recommend searching the many existing resources below.
