FINGERPRINT BIOMETRICS ATTENDANCE SYSTEM USING MOUNTAIN TOP UNIVERSITY AS A CASE STUDY

Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop an Attendance system for Mountain top university chapel which allows a smooth and running attendance in the chapelpremises with the aid of using a fingerprint scanner. This study identified the varioususer and system requirements, also specify on the system design andimplementation.A review of the literature was been done to identify and understand existingattendance systems. The user and system requirements of the system were identifiedfrom researches done from existing systems. The system design was specified using UML diagrams which include uses case diagram, flowchart diagram, class diagram. The implementation of the system was done using HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT forthe frontend AND PHP for the backend.The results of the system showed the implementation of the attendancesystem for Mountain top university chapel by using the fingerprint scanner to carryout attendance the registration of student fingerprint marked with their Name andmatriculation number thereafter they can now be scanned for each service attended.The study concluded that using a Biometric base attendance system theuniversity will be able to get a smooth and accurate attendance recording from eachservice and make it easier for attendance taking thereby eliminate the existingsystem in mountain top university.
