A Comprehensive University Management System via Object-Oriented Design

AcademIQ is a Java-based command-line application that streamlines university operations through robust student, staff, and course management. Built with clean OOP principles and in-memory data structures, it features a menu-driven CLI for administrators, academic staff, and students to handle enrollment, grading, scheduling, and reporting — all within a secure, modular, and extensible architecture.

The primary purpose of AcademIQ is to serve as a centralized, efficient platform for managing academic workflows while demonstrating best-practice OOP design: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and composition.

Interactive CLI Menu – Navigate subsystems (SIS, ASIS, CMS, etc.) via numbered options with real-time feedback.
In-Memory Data Management – Fast, lightweight persistence using ArrayList, HashMap, and custom collections.
OOP-Driven Architecture – Full implementation of Person, Staff, Student, and specialized subclasses with polymorphic displayInfo(): void and generateReport(): String.
Comprehensive Subsystems – SIS, ASIS, CMS, Grading, Enrollment, and Reporting modules fully linked via composition.
Secure Data Handling – Private attributes with getters/setters; validation on GPA, enrollment status, and capacity.

AI Recommendation Engine – Suggest courses based on GPA, prerequisites, and academic history.
Real-Time Analytics Dashboard – Visualize enrollment trends, faculty load, and at-risk students.
Role-Based Access Control – Admin, AcademicStaff, and Student login views.
File-Based Persistence – Save/load data using JSON or CSV.
Web Interface – Migrate CLI to Spring Boot + Thymeleaf or React frontend.

Core UML model finalized with Staff hierarchy and displayInfo(): void standardization.
CLI menu system with subsystem navigation implemented.
In-memory data layer with List and Map collections in progress.
Ongoing refinements to input validation, error handling, and report formatting.
