| Summary, etc |
Hostel allocation has always been an essential part in the process of hostel management. Over<br/>the years, it has been noticed that the drastic intake of students into higher institute of learning<br/>has in many ways contributed to the tedious nature of the process. The whole process involving<br/>allocation, documentation, managing of reports and any more, however, has made it to be most<br/>often than not more cumbersome. In Mountain Top University, Ogun state (MTU), the present<br/>system been used for hostel allocation and management is the traditional (manual) system which<br/>makes it to be complex and can be time sensitive. This in turn has caused the accuracy level in<br/>managing of records and allocating students to hostels very low, run on low speed and since the<br/>present system involves lots of paper work, cause less efficient and effective as a whole and sure<br/>needs urgent attention.<br/>This project aimed at providing solutions to stated problems was done by designing an<br/>online platform where all student allocation, management and other hostel management related<br/>matters can be done fast and easy with less human errors. The system was built by using HTML,<br/>CSS, PHP and MySQL as tools for its development. HTML and CSS playing a role for interface<br/>creation, PHP functioning as an object oriented programming language which basically validates<br/>forms and makes the system user friendly and MySQL as the server.<br/>The Online Allocation and Management System created helps to manage students’<br/>allocation records in a safer and more secure way. The system provides a faster and more<br/>efficient way of allocating students to hostels, manage and adequately store records for future<br/>reference.<br/>The Online Allocation and Management System is a very useful, convenient, and<br/>efficient. It is a safe way of keeping records compared to the manual method currently used. The<br/>system is thereby opened to thoughtful future improvements so as to adjust to future needs and<br/>increase its level of productivity, effectiveness and efficiency. |
