A Java Swing-based Course Scheduler application that allows academic administrators and students to manage course enrollment for different semesters. This project simulates a university registration system with functionalities to add semesters, register/drop students and classes, and handle class waitlists.

• Language: Java
• UI Framework: Java Swing (via NetBeans GUI Builder)
• Database: Apache Derby (Java DB)
• IDE: Apache NetBeans IDE 14

• Add a new semester
• Add courses to the catalog
• Add students to the system
• Add new class instances under a course
• View the complete class list
• Drop students from a course
• Drop an entire class from a semester

• Register for classes in the selected semester
• View enrolled and waitlisted classes
• Unenroll from classes
• Automatic enrollment from waitlist upon seat availability

• Set or change the current semester
• Load semester-specific data
• Maintain separation of schedule and records per semester

• Students – stores student IDs and names
• Courses – stores course codes, names, and credit hours
• Classes – section-specific data such as max capacity and instructor
• Enrollments – tracks active enrollments and waitlist positions
• Semesters – records of each semester added

All database interactions are managed through the DAO-like query classes (*Queries.java).

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/CourseSchedulerAaryaABS.git

2. Open in NetBeans

   • Open the .zip or project folder in NetBeans IDE.
   • Ensure Derby DB is installed and configured in your environment.

3. Run the MainFrame

   • Right-click MainFrame.java and select Run File.
   • Use the GUI to add semesters, classes, and interact as admin or student.

• Mastery over Java Swing UI components
• Hands-on with SQL operations using embedded Derby DB
• Understanding MVC-like structure using DAO pattern
• Real-world simulation of academic course scheduling
• Managing state across UI, database, and custom logic layers

• Add authentication for admin and student roles
• Support CSV imports for bulk student/course registration
• Integrate persistent settings storage
• Enhance UI with modern look (e.g., JavaFX or external themes)
