About the Project


It’s a simple project I made while doing preadvising. The open credit system can be somewhat hectic at times. Even if you have a course tree, you need to check that manually and find the courses that you have been unlocked. So being a programmer, I thought why not automate the whole thing and be done with it. Of course, that wasn’t easy either ? But hey, at least, now I was doing something I like, right?

It will only work for CSE students of BRACU, but feel free to pull and change up to fit your University.

Built with


  • python
  • pandas
  • tkinter

What it does


By inputting the courses you’ve done so far, you can get a list of courses you’ve unlocked and can choose from.

How to use


Completed courses can be inputted using

  • the checkboxes

    • pretty self-explanatory, check the completed courses and click the submit button at the bottom
  • a .txt file

    • list the completed courses in a .txt file, one in a line. Check the completed_courses.txt file in the repo to get an idea.
    • click the folder icon next to .txt input box to browse to this file and select
    • click the submit button next to it
  • a .csv file

    • copy completed_courses.csv and paste it somewhere.
    • edit the copied file and type “YES” in the FINISHED column of the completeed courses.
    • click the folder icon next to .csv input box to browse to this file and select
    • click the submit button next to it

may show irregularities if in the input, there’s a completed course whose prerequisite wasn’t done. For example, if CSE221 was checked but CSE220 wasn’t checked.
