Online Student Registration System
An online student registration system streamlines the application, registration, and monitoring of students in a school or training institute.
Why Use Online Registration?
According to Morris Wall (1990) : Online registration systems are websites that allow users to sign up for memberships, events and training by completing a form. Online registration systems are replacing manual processes, such as registering by telephone, mail or at events using paper forms.
What Is an Online Course Registration System?
According to Wells (2001): Many universities and educational institutions have a wide range of courses, students and faculty. Combine this with the need to conserve resources, and it makes sense to computerize the registration process. Registering for classes on line reduces paperwork, personnel, and costs.
A Student Registration System
According to Ralph E. Johnson (1996): Many of you register for courses online. The computer knows all the courses that are available each semester and also knows which ones you are taking. It makes sure that you can't register for too many courses, that you can't take the same course twice, that you have taken the prerequisites, and that a course is not oversubscribed.
A registration system has many users. You have probably only seen the system from the point of view of a student. You want to know what courses you signed up for, and maybe how many more hours you need to take to have a full load. But you don't need to know who is signed up for a particular course. This is only needed by teachers.
