THE PROBLEM
Enrollment serves as important part in the life of every student upon entering schools or universities, either public or private. It is considered as the initial process that must furnished by students within a particular institution before the school year starts. The student usually takes an admission test, followed by scheduled interview, then filling-up of forms and payment of fees.
