ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to design a computerized enrolment system for a ruralbased higher education institution and to find out its acceptability in terms of construction design and functionality. The computerized enrolment system was developed using the software Visual Basic, an Object-Oriented Programming visualization tool. The result of the study revealed that the Enrolment System is “Very Acceptable” as evaluated by the selected faculty members and staff of the school. In the light of the present findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are advanced, namely, that this enrolment system should be introduced to the school; that it should be adopted by the school to help the staff find records of students more easily and faster and the system should be utilized as a model for future research, especially for technology or computer-related research studies. Keywords: Enrolment System, Management, Information System Computer Technology, Higher Education,
INTRODUCTION As we live in an advanced technology world where computers are a big help to all human beings, the discovery of all digital mechanisms has increased from a small gadget to big equipment, which are the products of the work done by well-trained scientists with the help of the advancements in science and technology. As time passes by, those aspiring individuals who want to be acknowledged in the fast-rising technology scene create more gadgets. In addition, they never fail to amaze and satisfy the ever-curious human beings. One of the best and eventually the greatest is the development of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
