waseda-credit-calculator

A command-line tool for calculating credits at Waseda University, made because the credit system is so god damn complex.

The credit calculation rule is based on the 2023 curriculum from the Waseda FSE Handbook, and only supports the CSCE major. Because I am a CSCE student enrolled in 2023.

In other words, I made this tool is for myself. However, I made it open source in case other people find it useful, especially the logic in calculating credits. You can fork and modify it to support your major and the curriculum you are enrolled in.

2. Go to MyWaseda and choose the "Grades & Course Registration" button in the bottom left. You need to be logged out to see this.
3. Click on "Grade Report" in the opened tab.
4. The newly opened tab cannot use extensions, copy the URL and open it in a new tab of the original browser window.
5. Click on the Instant Data Scraper extension icon, make sure that it's crawling the table with the grades. Click "Download CSV", then save the file somewhere.
6. Run wcc load and follow the instructions.
