Design And Implementation Of A Computerized Student Registration Number System

Introduction:

This chapter gives an overview about the aim, objectives, background and operation environment of the system.

1.1 Background of the Study

Student Registration Number system is an application which are generally small or medium in size. It is used by school management to create and manage the student registration number using a computerized system where he/she can create registration number for the Student, create a report of all the registration number of the student to each of their department and faculties, Storing the registration details for reference purpose. With this computerized system there will be no loss of record or member record which generally happens when a non computerized system is used. If user’s position is admin, the user is able to create and maintain all the registration number details. All these modules are able to help the Registrar to manage the registration information with more convenience and in a more efficient way as compared to Registration number systems which are not computerized.

1.2 Statement of the Problems

The problems found during registration of the student was so much that there were cases where files containing the details of the student and his/her registration number got missing, unidentification of the student’s department and faculties because of lack of registration number, time required to record as well as presenting an Information

Lack of effectiveness in their methods of record keeping, further compounds the problem.

1.3 Objective of the Study

The project aims and objectives that will be achieved after completion of this project are discussed in this subchapter.

The aims and objectives are as follows:

To resolve Registration number issue

To Request column for the Registrar to generate registration number for the student.

To create a separate column for registering the School information.

To provide a login page where the admin can have access to register and generate registration number for the student.

To update the student registration number based on department and faculties.

1.6 Significance of the Study

The significance of this study was to help and give a benefit to the student, staff and school management. The computerized library system would improve the monitoring capacities of those who maintain the system. Furthermore, the registrar would be much guided when it comes to registering and generating the registration number of the student, letting them arrange it promptly and accordingly.

1.7 Limitation of the Study

Unavailability of academic materials.

Transport problem

Lack of financial support

Lack of Time

Unavailability of programming software such as Visual Basic.Net.

1.9 Scope of the Study

This research work will concentrate on Registration, Report, School management, and LogOut menu which include handling of some queries like; updating record, deleting record and viewing the student information via S/N, Name of Student, Reg Number and department as the case may be. It is a case study of MarcusICT Academy.

1.8 Assumption of the Study

During the process of data collection, information relating to Student registration number System was obtained from IBOM E – LIBRARY. The information was collected from the admin staff during the course of my industrial attachment. Hence, it is assumed that all the data collected are correct and contains no false information.
