Mobile Based Transcript of Records Request Processing System
Problems Encountered
Problems encountered in existing system are as follows:
- The manual process of requesting the students’ academic record takes too long.
- The records are kept in a traditional way which is the file/folder-cabinet method; as such records are not secured.
- Students/graduates need to go the registrar’s office to request their record and it is quite troublesome on the part of the students/graduates.
- In general, the existing system has failed to satisfy the needs of its clientele.
To eradicate the above stated problems, it is recommended to eliminate the manual/old process and start designing and developing an automated one.
Benefits
