StuEd: An Integrated Academic Management Platform for University Students

University students face increasing challenges in managing academic responsibilities, tracking assignment deadlines, and identifying relevant skill-based career opportunities. This paper presents StuEd, an integrated web-based academic management platform designed to consolidate academic planning and opportunity discovery into a single system. The platform consists of two core modules: an Assignment Deadline Visualizer, which provides calendar, list, and timeline-based views for effective deadline management, and a Skill-Based Opportunities module that recommends relevant jobs and internships using machine learning techniques. StuEd is implemented using HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript, with client-side data persistence via browser localStorage and external job aggregation through RapidAPI. Experimental evaluation demonstrates effective deadline visualization and improved relevance in opportunity recommendations, with Random Forest models outperforming Decision Tree classifiers in skill-opportunity matching accuracy. The modular architecture supports future extensions such as research paper recommendations, internship tracking, and campus lost-and-found services, positioning StuEd as a scalable solution for holistic student academic management.
