The researchers conducted the study to assess the ways in how students pay for their tuition in schools. After a thorough study and investigation, the researchers have found out that students still use the manual approach in paying for their tuition. Paying manually made the students wait in the long queues which waste not only student’s precious time but also the school’s management’s time. The manual method is seen as ineffective for it requires too much time and effort and there is a lot of room for mistakes.
As a response, the researchers proposed the capstone project, “Mobile Based Tuition Fee Payment App using Dragon Pay API”. The said project is purposely designed to automate the process of tuition fee payment. The application will allow the students to pay for their tuition electronically without needing to visit the school’s cashier.
The said application will be developed using the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) technique. The researchers will go through different phases, from data gathering up to the actual coding to develop the app. After the development process, the researcher will then test and check the app to ensure its functionality and smooth operation. The developed application will also be evaluated by a panel of IT experts for further enhancement and improvement.
The development of the application will significantly benefit both, the schools and the students. The students would not need to spend a lot of time and fall in long queues just to pay for their tuition fees. The application will also ease up the job of the school’s cashier, it will lessen their paper works as well as the time they spent in responding to personal queries of the students for tuition fee payment transactions.
The implementation of the project is highly recommended by the researchers for its efficiency and reliability that can be rendered to the intended users. The application will make tuition fee payment easy, fast and convenient.
Introduction
The capstone project entitled, “Mobile Based Tuition Fee Payment App using Dragon Pay API” is a mobile-based application that allows an automated process of paying tuition fees. The application is designed to be used by educational institutions and their students to pay for tuition electronically using Dragon Pay API.
Nowadays, paying for tuition fee are still done using the manual approach where students personally visit the school and fall in line in the school’s cashier office. Paying manually made the students wait in the long queues which waste not only student’s precious time but also the school’s management’s time. Information about the payments is also kept manually for future references. The manual method is seen as ineffective for it requires too much time and effort and there is a lot of room for mistakes. Processing payment for tuition fees is critical since it involves money and serves as a ticket for the students to continue their study, thus the school’s management, and students need an effective platform to process and pay for tuition fees.
Proposed Solution
To address the aforementioned concerns, the proponents of the study aim to design and develop a mobile-based tuition fee payment application using Dragon Pay API. The application will let the students pay for their tuition electronically and would not need to personally visit the school and wait in long queues just to pay for their tuition. The students may use the application to automate the process of wiring their payment to the school’s cashier office. The application will let the students conveniently pay and give them the freedom to pay for their tuition fees from anywhere and anytime.
Objectives of the Study
General Objective – The main goal of the project is to design and develop a mobile application that will let the students pay for their tuition conveniently.
- To develop a tuition fee payment application using a Dragon Pay API.
- The application will let students process and pay for tuition in a fast and hassle-free manner.
- To develop an application that serves as a more reliable and effective means of paying the tuition fee.
- The application will remove all forms of delay and stress that are involved in the manual system of tuition fee processing.
- The application will have a user-friendly interface.
Scope of the Study
The project will mainly focus on developing a mobile-based application that allows the electronic payment of tuition fees. The tuition fee payment application will use Dragon Pay API. The application will streamline the transaction between the students and the school’s cashier. The students will pay online and the cashier will receive the electronic money as a payment. The respondents of the project are the intended users which are the staff of the schools and the students.
Significance of the Study
The success of the study is deemed beneficial to the following:
Students. The success of the application will greatly help them in paying for their tuition fees conveniently. They can pay for their tuition anytime and anywhere without personally going to school.
School Management. If they use the system in their operation, they can save a lot of their time while attending to the student’s payment and they can also securely keep the records of the student’s payment.
Researchers. The success of the project will further enhance their knowledge and skills as program developers.
Future Researchers. They can use the study as a basis for their pursuit of the project.
Conclusion
Students pay for tuition as they enrolled in school. Paying for tuition fees requires transactions between the school’s cashier and the students. The researchers conducted the study to assess the current system of transactions for paying tuition fees. The researchers have found out that most of the schools still use the conventional approach in paying for tuition. The current system requires the students to visit the school’s cashier, fall in long queues to wait for their turn of transaction. The researchers thought that the current system is ineffective and requires too much time and effort for both sides involved. The researchers have seen the need for an effective tool to complete tuition fee payment transactions and developed an automated system for it. The result of the study showed that the developed system met the needs and requirements of the respondents and the intended users. The majority of the respondents have seen the potential of the system to easily and conveniently complete tuition fee payment transactions.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that the developed application is an effective tool to be used by students in processing their tuition fees. The application would eliminate the need for students to pay personally in the school’s cashier. The app will allow an easy, fast and convenient tuition fee payment transaction.
Recommendations
The significant result of the study pushed the researchers to highly recommend the implementation of the app. The researchers recommend the app for its efficiency and reliability that can be rendered to the end-users. The app will allow the students to electronically process the payment for their tuition. The researchers suggest that the users should have enough knowledge on how to properly use the application.
The researchers specifically recommend the following:
- Schools should adopt the use of the app as an alternative for students and the school’s cashier to process tuition fee payments.
- Students should download and install the app so that they can easily and conveniently pay for their tuition.
- The researchers strongly suggest the implementation of the app for it is effective and reliable when it comes to electronic payment of tuition fees.
