DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF STUDENT’S TRANSCRIPT GENERATING SOFTWARE

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to verify al the manual processes involved in generating student’s transcript and to seek for a way of automating the system for a way of automating the system for effective operations.

Since there is continues moves towards technological advances that enhanced productivity of labour and free human beings of task done move economically by machines.

Computer and its application have become vital tools in economic, industrial and social development of advanced countries of the world. Therefore there is every need to computerize any it to be easy effective and error fee.

Data was collected mainly by oral interview with a committee member in exam and records I.M.T Enugu and also in exams and Academics.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Students’ transcript is the summary of each of the two-year performance either in (OND) ordinary National Diploma or (HND) higher national diploma.

A transcript is also demanded by a student who has finished OND/HND and wishes to transfer to another school or student who wishes to secure a job. A transcript is not given directly to a student. It is sent to the school that the student wishes to transfer or to the establishment or organization, which the student wishes to secure a job.

A students’ transcript is prepared or formed by the scores entered on the designed score sheet by the individual subject lectures on each semester examinations.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

There has been this problem of too much work for the head of department of exams and records owing to the growing population of students’ in the institution; the head of department of the exams and records is faced with heads of file. At times sorting out a particular students’ file takes time.

This bitter complaints and the delay in the preparing of this students’ transcript has been the major concern and therefore has intensified the need to design a generating software which will go a long way in taking these problems and at the same time help to quicken the generating of students’ transcript.

PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to design implementation of student’s’ transcript generating software.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Due to the controversy surrounding the manual generating of the student s’ transcript, it was fact that a study of this nature will clarify the causes of the problems being faced by the concerned departments and to map out the necessary solutions and techniques to the problems.

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

1)   To enhance speedy of the results.

2)   To eliminate errors due to manual processing.

3)   To provide security measure to check students mischievous act of changing marks on the result sheet.
