DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTERIZED REGISTRATION APPLICATION FOR SCHOOL ENROLMENT SYSTEM

ABSTRACT
This study was carried out in order to verify all the manual processes involved in the registration application for school enrollment system and to rectify the impact and implication of introducing machine (computerizing) to the system.
Since the thrust of innovation today continues towards technological advances that enhanced productivity of labour and free human beings of tasks done more economically by machines. In particular, computer and its applications have become indispensable and vital tools in economic, industrial and social development of the advanced countries of the world.
Nigeria as a developing country cannot afford to lay too far behind in this kind of revolution. Therefore, there is every need to know in every discipline the areas which attracts computerization and why they need it.
Classical software engineering principles were applied in the analysis, design, coding and testing of the registration software, serious attention was also given to the design of the user interface. Due to its support for all features desired, Visual Basic was the chosen language for the software implementation. The end result is a software that is very effectively and efficient in meeting its objectives and at the same time user friendly.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Since the creation, there has been constant question by man to improve on the quality of his life and existence. This ever increasing question has been necessitated and propelled by the simple need to address the challenges posses by this environment. Borne out of these needs, a number of inventions have been made in virtually every field of human endeavour. The computer is one of the most spectacular of such inventions.
It is a tool specifically made for computable problems. The present form of the computer is the culmination of the series of inventions and research development spanning over centuries. The beginning of the development of computer can be traced back to over 500 years ago when the Chinese invented the Abacus.
There after, various other computation contraptions were developed. These ranges form manual deices such as the slide rule to purely mechanized devices.

The electronic computer was developed in this century and has given birth to a new filed of endeavourer known as information technology (IT) the world of IT is expanding in scope and yet narrowing in terms of physical distances between user paints.
The computer is functionally reducing the world to a global village in which space is no longer a barren to the exchange of data and information.
In this filed, the computer is not just a passive tool, but it has also enhanced the standard of performance. There are several ways the computer can affect our lives.
These ways are dependent on the application to which we put the computer.
For instance in an Academic environment, there is need for proper documentation and processing of the student’s record. To achieve the desired goal, computer is used to store, process and retrieve student record. This will help to solve the problem of mussing files, results etc. and enhance efficiency in management.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
The registration and enrollment officers had been coming up with the bitter complaints of how echoes, cumbersome and complication their job is now after series of investigations and observation. It was found out that most of the times, for the registrars to receive information and to work with it, becomes a very difficult task. Even when the information (Registration and enrollment) of the students are made available, documentation becomes a problem. This was as a result of the procedure unloved (manually). For instance, if the student files are to be sorted, it may take months.
This delay in registering and enrolling the students has been the major concern and therefore has intensified the need to design a software which will go a long way in tacking these problems.
