Yes, like others have suggested, your problem in in the line:

grades[studentNumber][courseNumber] = input.nextInt();

Because your input is not recognised as an integer.

You should also be aware that your code will not loop through five times, it will go through once and exit since if statements do not repeat.

To loop you should probably use a for loop, something along these lines:

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
    //You code should be the same in here
}

Or change your if's to while.
