Chapter 1 Introduction Situation Analysis The advent of computer technology has opened a new chapter in technological advances which makes computers become part of everyday life. Computers make all lives easier so that all can live good lives. Computers are everywhere at work, at school, and at home. The educational system has taken advantage of the technology in teaching and learning, processing data, record keeping, and in their enrolment system. Information systems were being upgraded to handle more complex and large data; one of them is the Enrollment System. As the school increases in its enrollees every year, the harder it becomes to deal with, particularly in private academic institutions wherein the population of the students is massive (Ballesteros, et. al. 2021). Enrolment systems are used in recording a student’s information. A well-built one will reduce the load on the people that normally have to- do all the work. Enrollment system is useful especially when the school retrieves the important information from the student. In the enrollment system, the school can trace what are the standings of the students. The manual enrollment system in a school can lead to inaccurate evaluation of student performance, loss of student records, inaccurate reports, and slow enrollment processing. Students will be confused on what they should do and how they will do to be able to enroll. It is extremely useful in the school in a way of making the processes of enrolling much easy. According to Ogbuokiri, et.al (2015), in University of Nigeria Nsukka, (UNN) the admission enrolment system is done partly online and partly manual. That is, students’ bio data is done online and every other enrolment process is done manually. Just like UNN, most universities in Nigeria practice the same enrolment process. In summary, all the literatures above have little or nothing in terms of mobility in university enrolment system. This is the problem the researcher has identified and proposed a solution to address it by providing a platform independent mobile university enrolment application. In the end, it will reduce human error, promote easy access i.e. users can access the system anywhere, anytime, reduce cost, increase security of data and saves time. The existing systemmost tertiary institutions in Nigeria do the manual way of enrollment where paper work and long queue are the other of the day. It is pertinent to note that the advent of ICT has brought about the change we need in the enrollment process in Nigeria. Different arms of the government have in one way or the other embraced ICT; this is indeed a welcome development. Businesses and organizations have made their enrollment processes online to enable them produce faster and better result. In recent times, most multinational companies have embraced the method of online enrollment processes to reduce crowd. This is where people apply and register for jobs online, take exam online and are screened online. Unlike Africa, most university in the western world practice online registration very well. In University of Nigeria, Nsukka the enrollment process is manual and online. That is, students pay fees online with a scratch card, this will help them to generate receipt and then proceed to their different faculties for manual registration. So, all the registration and enrollment processes cannot be done anywhere. You must come to the school. This is common to most tertiary institutions in Nigeria and that is what their research tries to solve. In addition, the Enrollment System with Descriptive Analytics is a big step in advancement of a school specifically those who are dealing with a large student population. This type of transaction processing system can make the procedures faster and easier. With this, it can also lessen the manpower needed during enrollment dates. The system benefits every vital entity during the enrollment; the students, registrar and the administrator. The students can ensure the data they have provided to the school as the record keeping and retrieval has been improved. The registrar can easily confirm the students enrolling in the upcoming school year, and provision of registration forms has been easier. The administrator can easily generate the enrollment report as a requirement for every academic year and through this reporting feature, they can also forecast the number of enrollees for the upcoming school year. According to the Authors, the system is developed to improve the enrollment system in terms of handling large number of enrollees including the assignment of schedule and their respective section. The Authors also probed on the record keeping and retrieval of the enrollees’ documents and compiling them to produce an official registration form. Moreover, the study included the management of accounts and generation of enrollment report under the control of the administrator (Miranda, et.al, 2019). A web-based enrollment system for Veritas Parochial School (VPS) in Web Based enrollment system, Manila was developed to help its students enroll in a more efficient way without the hassles of waiting long hours in filling out forms, which sometimes become redundant, or to stand in line and pay at the cashier. It is with the Web-based Enrollment System for VPS that this new style of enrollment may be achieved. This new type of system offers its students new options for enrolling at VPS. By logging on to VPS website, one can register and enroll subjects for a school year. With these, all the students are required to fill out certain forms that do not take more than a few minutes to accomplish. The system stores its records in the school database for future references. Confirmation of the transaction made by the students need to be verified, the payment of tuition fees must be made in the schools registrar. The students may also browse the web site of VPS and he can check his current account. He can also refer to the list of the school current tuition fee rates (Pascual & Riceo, 2018). Furthermore, in Liceo de Cagayan University, the Online Enrollment System was proposed for the enhancement of the current enrollment system of Liceo de Cagayan University. The study aimed at creating a system that would provide another option for enrolling and that would compensate for the school’s lack of manpower and time-consuming system. The database of the system is the dbEnrollment. It contains many tables and stores information such as student’s academic records, secretary’s files and records, class schedules, pre-requisites, subjects, curricula and other essential data needed in the system. The proposed system caters to old, freshmen, transferees and shiftees with the following services: subject evaluation, posting of grades, viewing of curriculum, add and update profile. The system lessens the enrollment time, speeds up file management, and minimizes inaccuracies and errors. The output of the study is the Online Enrollment System of Liceo de Cagayan University. The developed software will be installed in the Web server and will be uploaded on the Web. The developed software will store all the data that are inputted in the user interface digitally into the database and will generate reports for the end users such as the unofficial enrollment form for the enrollees and a ready-to- print reports for the administrator. The developed software includes a complete Program Structure, Database Specifications and Design, and System User Manual. A complete documentation of all program source codes is also compiled along with the complete documentation of the study (Binayao, et. al 2010). According to Mina (2021), The pandemic crisis brought a multitude of challenges in every higher educational institution for the reason that the national government imposed different restrictions and health protocols. Hence, this study aimed to determine the predicaments, situations, and experiences of students specifically in terms of the online enrollment process of Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology for the academic year 2020–2021. The researchers of this study used a descriptive method of research to assess the feedback of 1,078 students in terms of the system’s functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. At the same time, this study was conducted to identify the level of qualities the system can provide to the university’s stakeholders and to determine the technical loopholes and attribute that requires updating to satisfy the university’s clientele–the students. The results have shown that the students found the system very good in terms of its functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability and only good concerning its efficiency. This means that the system provides a high level of quality and requires minimal rectifications for improvement. In that case, the researchers suggested improving the system in terms of efficiency which is about the use of possible input to produce a quality and highest possible amount of output. Finally, the researchers suggested conducting future studies wherein the system will be assessed by Technical Experts in terms of technical aspects of the system which is based on ISO/IEC 25010:2011 or software quality standards. Computer digitalization which is now marked as one of the leading inventions that an educational institution can have (Custodio and Castro, 2016) is the only solution in this kind of situation.
