Course Enrollment and Grade
Management System in Java
Introduction
The Course Enrollment and Grade Management System is a Java-based application designed
for universities to efficiently manage student enrollment, course assignments, and grade
tracking. This system implements object-oriented principles, including encapsulation, static
methods, and access control, ensuring a well-structured and maintainable codebase.
Student Class
The Student class encapsulates student-related data such as name, ID, and enrolled courses.
It provides methods for enrolling in courses and assigning grades.
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Student {
private String name;
private String studentID;
private List<Course> enrolledCourses;
private Map<Course, Double> grades;
public Student(String name, String studentID) {
this.name = name;
this.studentID = studentID;
this.enrolledCourses = new ArrayList<>();
this.grades = new HashMap<>();
}
public String getName() { return name; }
public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
public String getStudentID() { return studentID; }
public void setStudentID(String studentID) { this.studentID = studentID; }
public List<Course> getEnrolledCourses() { return enrolledCourses; }
public void enrollCourse(Course course) {
if (!enrolledCourses.contains(course)) {
enrolledCourses.add(course);
course.incrementEnrolledStudents();
}
}
public void assignGrade(Course course, double grade) {
if (enrolledCourses.contains(course)) {
grades.put(course, grade);
}
}
public double getGrade(Course course) {
return grades.getOrDefault(course, 0.0);
}
}
Course Class
The Course class stores course details, including course code, name, and maximum capacity.
A static variable tracks the total number of enrolled students across all courses.
public class Course {
private String courseCode;
private String courseName;
private int maxCapacity;
private static int totalEnrolledStudents = 0;
public Course(String courseCode, String courseName, int maxCapacity) {
this.courseCode = courseCode;
this.courseName = courseName;
this.maxCapacity = maxCapacity;
}
public String getCourseCode() { return courseCode; }
public String getCourseName() { return courseName; }
public int getMaxCapacity() { return maxCapacity; }
public static int getTotalEnrolledStudents() {
return totalEnrolledStudents;
}
public void incrementEnrolledStudents() {
totalEnrolledStudents++;
}
}
CourseManagement Class
This class manages course enrollment, student registration, and grade calculations using static
methods.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class CourseManagement {
private static List<Course> courses = new ArrayList<>();
public static void addCourse(String courseCode, String courseName, int maxCapacity) {
courses.add(new Course(courseCode, courseName, maxCapacity));
}
public static void enrollStudent(Student student, Course course) {
student.enrollCourse(course);
}
public static void assignGrade(Student student, Course course, double grade) {
student.assignGrade(course, grade);
}
public static double calculateOverallGrade(Student student) {
double total = 0;
int count = 0;
for (Course course : student.getEnrolledCourses()) {
total += student.getGrade(course);
count++;
}
return count == 0 ? 0 : total / count;
}
}
Administrator Interface
An interactive command-line interface allows administrators to perform operations efficiently.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class AdminInterface {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
while (true) {
System.out.println("1. Add Course");
System.out.println("2. Enroll Student");
System.out.println("3. Assign Grade");
System.out.println("4. Calculate Overall Grade");
System.out.println("5. Exit");
int choice = scanner.nextInt();
if (choice == 5) break;
}
scanner.close();
}
}
