Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes, we want to remove the lous list dependency and use the SIS API. This is important if lous list was to be taken down as rumored last year.

Describe the solution you'd like Move from using lous list to get course information to SIS API

Describe alternatives you've considered Using SIS API.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Honestly, if Lou's List dies, Lou's List dies. We can probably kick this can down the road.

The SIS API is not fun to work with, especially if you are not directly connected to the University Network.

wkaisertexas commented 7 months ago

Why are we giving ourselves more work on the hunch that Lou's List might die?

Because less dependencies are better than more.

Also, frankly, this issue is 95% resolved and about to get merged next week (xd).
