Project Overview

The School Registration System is a Java-based application designed to simplify course management and registration for students, teachers, and administrators. The system allows students to:

• Register for courses.
• View their course schedules.
• Drop courses.

Administrators can:

• Add, update, or remove courses.
• Manage student enrollments.
• Generate reports on student and course data.

Teachers can:

• View course details, including student lists and schedules.

This project serves as a practical implementation of key object-oriented programming concepts, data structures, and software design patterns, aligning with the Programming Patterns course (420-301-VA) at Vanier College.

Key Features

1. Student Portal

• Register and drop courses with real-time feedback on available seats.
• View current and upcoming semester schedules.
• Notifications for important updates or deadlines.

2. Administrator Portal

• Add, update, or delete courses.
• View and manage student enrollment.
• Generate reports on course enrollments and student information.

3. Teacher Portal

• View course details such as enrolled students and course schedules.
• Access class rosters and attendance records.

4. Data Structures

• ArrayList and LinkedList for course storage and management.
• Queue for handling student registration requests.
• Use of Comparable and Comparator interfaces for sorting courses by name, schedule, or capacity.

5. Stream Processing & Lambda Expressions

• Efficient filtering of course data using Java Streams.
• Lambda expressions for simplified data processing and comparisons.

6. Generic Classes

• Implementation of generic data structures to handle multiple types of data, ensuring flexibility and scalability.

7. Unit Testing

• Comprehensive unit tests using JUnit to ensure functionality and correctness of all core components, such as student registration, course management, and data manipulation.

8. External Libraries

• Maven for dependency management and project build automation.
• Integration of external libraries for validation and input handling.
