Course Enrollment System

Overview

The Course Enrollment System is a comprehensive C++ application with a GUI, designed to streamline course scheduling and management. The system provides functionality for students to enroll in courses and administrators to manage course information efficiently. It utilizes the SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library) for GUI components and SQLite for database integration.
