###Login into TritonLink Simulate user's action and login with Student SSO
tl.login()###Retrieve Student Information Retrieve student info based on the current TritonLink login
student_info = tl.get_student_info()student_info will be a key-value pair dictionary.
| Keys | Values |

| major | current major in UCSD |
| years | current year in UCSD |
| account_balance | current account balance in TritonLink |
| holds | number of holds in TritonLink |
###Retrieve Enrollment Information Retrieve student enrollment information based on the current TritonLink login
####Retrieve Enrollment/Quarter Information
enrolled_courses = tl.get_courses_enrolled()enrolled_courses is a key-value pair dictionary

for quarter, courses in enrolled_courses.iteritems():
print "You've selected the following courses for "+quarter+" :";
for course in courses:
#whatever| Keys | Values |
|---|---|
| (name of the quarter, e.g. "Spring Qtr 2015") | a list of key-value pairs for courses (described below) |
####Retrieve Course List
courses = enrolled_courses[quarter_name] will save the list of courses into courses
