4000.00

ABSTRACT

With the advance in technology more in particular in the field of computer related organization, a lot of things are now automated. As a matter of fact, Information technology has a vital role in the design and implementation of computerized Registration application for school enrollment.

Almost all our Higher Institution has gone into computerized Registration application for school enrollment because of the extraordinary benefit resulting from information technology. Information technology has enabled an online administration system to work successfully.

With this computerized Registration application for school enrollment, students’ data/information are well collected, processed and stored for the management purpose.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

       This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to computerized Registration application for school enrollment.

       Chapter one talks about introduction to computerized Registration application for school enrollment, study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.

       Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.

       Chapter six document the project work, while chapter seven summaries,  conclusion and suggestions were made.

                                CHAPTER ONE

     1.0                  INTRODUCTION

As most nations of the world are becoming information technology inclined, Nigeria is not left behind. Even as most organizations and companies in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed the benefits of information technology.

       Even as most foreign countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of information technology.

       As I consider the design and implementation of computerized Registration application for school enrollment, it is necessary to mention here that information technology have a lot to play in achieving this. Implementing computerized student registration system entails having access to internet, having a website and the place of strong and reliable database can not be over emphasized.

       All these must be put into consideration and they are well treated in the subsequent section of this project work.

   1.1               STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

       Owing to (i) the difficulties student encounter in manual filling and submission of IMT forms (ii) time wasted in getting information from IMT officers on how to fill the form. (iii) Loss of some submitted forms due to mismanagement of IMT officers and (iv) Long queue the students face in collecting their IMT Receipts, the need arises for the development of computerized Registration application for school enrollment to alleviate these problems.

1.2             AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The aims and objectives of this project is listed below:

v                 To develop a software that replaces manual filling and submission of IMT form.

v                 To stop or solve the problems students face during payment of various fee.

v                 To help the management in the effective distribution of IMT information.

 1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY

       The sole purpose of this study is to put to an end the difficulties students face or encounter during registration. This is achieved by software computerized Registration application for school enrollment system which is user friendly and easy to implement, students will no longer be in danger of losing their submitted forms or information.

1.4  SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

       With the growth of information technology, the study offers numerous values not only to students but also to the IMT board. The board doesn’t have to spend any is other resources by sending admission letter to students rather they make their money when students buy scratch cards to check either their results or information.

       The students can easily get information by visiting IMT website without consulting any IMT officer. Student no longer suffer the consequences of the wrong information sent by some IMT officer due to mismanagement. Above all, the knowledge of students and IMT officers towards information technology is enhanced.                

1.5  SCOPE OF STUDY

       This project work is narrowed to Institute of Management and Technology Board and her students. It deals with the designing of computerized Registration application for school enrollment system. The program will help students get information concerning (i) IMT registration (ii) IMT history (iii) Admission requirement (iii) IMT courses requirement.

       Students can still get history information about the Institute of Management and Technology Board. The program will be self-explanatory and interactive. 

1.6  LIMITATION OF STUDY

       Owing to the scope of this project as mentioned above, this project work is limited to students who want to attend Institute of Management and Technology only. It is important to mention that time was a major constraint in the course of fact finding.

       It is also wise to mention here that some information we need to work with was not collected because of unwillingness of the board to reveal such information.

  1.7       ASSUMPTION OF STUDY

       One of the major assumption made in this project the work is that manual filling and submission of IMT forms are ineffective, time wasting and prone to either misplacement or mismanagement of students data by IMT officers.

       It is also assumed that with the level of development in information technology, there is a serious demand to join this trend of information technology.

       It is also assumed that computerized student registration system is more economical to the board when compared to the manual method.
