Academics: SIS & AMS

Westlake University operates two primary academic management backends, both accessible via unified campus credentials: SIS (Student Information System / registrar, using IAM OAuth2) and AMS (Academic Management System, using IAM SSO with an 8-hour session cache). Both systems require an on-campus network or active VPN connection.

SIS Timetable & Examinations

westlake sis schedule        # class sessions (course, instructor, day, time, classroom)
westlake sis grid            # weekly timetable grid with conflict detection (read-only)
westlake sis ical            # export timetable to .ics (one-click subscription on the web /ical page)
westlake sis exams           # exam schedule and seat assignments

The conflict detection engine accounts for course-specific edge cases: multi-room allocations or parallel classrooms for a single course section are recognized as non-conflicting. When the course registration window is open, cart items can be staged into the grid for pre-enrollment validation. Automated course adding, dropping, or seat-grabbing is strictly unsupported.

Grades & Enrollment Cart
