############################################
This extension does NOT read or store any data other than course ID's for constructing faculty attendance links on the homepage. It is only stored in your account.
*by installing this extension you are agreeing to the linked FERPA statement each time you log in.
**click anywhere on the login page within 1 second to auto-login if chrome has auto-filled fields. The reason for this oddity is a consequence of how chrome auto-fill works. While auto-filled fields show to you, data does not actually exist in the form until you interact with the page i.e. clicking anywhere. Programatically, the fields appear empty until the user interaction event occurs.
