UQUCC Student Guide — دليل طالب الحاسبات

An everyday companion for students at the College of Computers, Umm Al-Qura University — bundling the calculators, guides, and information they constantly look for into one fast, Arabic-first site.

Challenge

Students juggle scattered, unofficial spreadsheets and group chats to compute their GPA, estimate their monthly reward, check absence limits, find a tutor, or understand transfer rules. Nothing lived in one trustworthy place.

Solution

• Academic calculators: GPA, monthly reward (timezone-aware), absence/deprivation, and transfer-score — all instant and client-side, with Arabic-numeral input and local persistence.
• Tutor directory: searchable private-tutor listings by course and by tutor.
• Guidance CMS: hierarchical, rich-text content pages with full-text search, managed from an admin panel.
• Telegram bot: a custom long-polling bot that answers students’ questions straight from the same content.

Technical Implementation

Laravel 12 with an Inertia + Vue 3 front end and a Filament 4 admin, plus role-based access, activity logging, and full-page response caching. The Telegram bot runs as a custom worker dispatching updates through a pipeline of handlers. Actively maintained with ~235 commits.
