Why wouldn't turning on the screensaver lock (for password) solve the problem? Alternatively, the application could detect the screensaver activation itself and expire its authorization- sshkeychain does this:

In any case, keeping append-only logs of activity for anything as important as grades is crucial. The OP's problem is not new.

I have to say simply popping up a login dialog when your application

Are your data files encrypted? If so how? Who holds the keys?

What about someone simply deleting or replacing the data file with a
copy from say some time in the past... etc?
