Student Portal Application System For Accessing Student’s Information (Results And The Class Timetable)

Abstract

The student portai application system is a system that allows a student to access the results

and the timetable with ease. Class timetables and examination results and other curriculum

activities are issued through paper printouts which are pinned to notice boards, perimeter

walls, corridors and affix to office windows affecting light illumination in the office. This

medium of issuance is outdated, expensive, and bulky and most of all easily ignored. The

SPAS system solves these problems by allowing the students access the results and the

timetable through their android smartphones.

With the system in place there will be no need to pin results and the timetable to the office

windows, corridors and walls. Students will also be able to access these resources

conveniently at any time. They will also not be required to keep a paper copy in their pockets

which sometimes may get lost. The student will also have the latest updates of these

resources in real-time.

The methodology used by the researchers is Observation and Document review research

techniques. The SPAS system was developed for android smartphones; Development tools

were eclipse, Android ADT,javajdk and android handset(s).

Limitations of the SPAS system are; it can only run on android platform and it will be serving students of Kampala International University.
