  2. Enroll in a course
  3. View enrolled courses
  4. View credit limit
  5. Drop a course
  6. View grades
  7. Update personal profile
  8. Logout

Each option is handled through the Helpers class and the Student class.

1. View available courses

This option displays all courses that the student is eligible to enroll in.

A course is considered available if:

  • It is open for enrollment
  • It is not full
  • The student is not already enrolled

Displayed information typically includes:

  • Course name
  • Course code
  • Schedule
  • Credit hours
  • Capacity status

This helps students explore their enrollment options.

2. Enroll in a course

The student may enroll in a course if:

  • The course is open
  • The course is not full
  • The student has enough remaining credit hours
  • The student is not already enrolled

The workflow:

  2. The student selects a course
  3. The system validates the selection
  4. The course is added to the student's enrolledCourses
  5. The student is added to the course's enrolledStudents

If enrollment fails, the system prints an appropriate message.

This prevents students from exceeding their credit capacity.

5. Drop a course

Students may drop a course only if:

  • They are enrolled in the course
  • The course is still open for enrollment

The workflow:

  1. The system lists the student's enrolled courses
  2. The student selects a course to drop
  3. The system validates the selection
  4. The course is removed from the student's list
  5. The student is removed from the course's list

If the course is closed, dropping is not allowed.

This option provides access to all grade‑related features.

Students may:

  • View all grades for a course

  • View average grades for a course

The workflow uses the Assessment class to retrieve and display grade information.

  • Password
  • Email
  • Phone number
  • Address

Validation is handled through the Helpers class.
After updating, the system saves the student's data immediately.
