DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE CLEARANCE SYSTEM FOR FINAL YEAR STUDENTS.

Abstract

Online clearance system is basically design to save user information, facilitate the manipulation of data in a faster rate, provide concurrent access (access too many users at this time) to authorize users, and also ensure the integrity and accuracy of the information system store by the authorize users. This research therefore, aimed to create an online clearance system, to look into how this system is designed and implemented into the school’s knowledge processing in other to ascertain whether it’s met the purpose of the application of the clearance system has an alternative that will replace the manual method. The existing system was analytically and objectively analysed and tested in the course of the implementation of the new system and hence the strength and weakness were highlighted and the new system was designed to be more effective and productive for clearing students, eliminating all types of delay and tension, as well as helping you to learn the processes involved as well as how to do your online clearance. This project work made use of data collected from the University, materials and journals from various authors and software was developed to effectively achieve the aims of this project. In this project, the implementation of the computer-based system was carried out using PHP, JAVASCRIPT, CSS, APACHE and MYSQL for the database was carried out in this project. In conclusion, all the aims expected were reached by the job. However, it is recommended for all tertiary institutions to use it. The new system will reduce the amount of time and efforts wasted on students’ clearance as well as reduce cost incurred on paper by the institution. Another advantage is that students can also initiate and monitor their clearance status from any location they are thereby eliminating the need to travel or be physically present.
