designing the student clearance system
ABSTRACT
Computer Software Based online clearance system is an internet base research work that will help build an effective information management for schools. It is aimed at developing a computer software system that replaces the manual method of clearance for graduating students. The designed software will serve as a more reliable and effective means of undertaking students clearance, remove all forms of delay and stress as well as enable you to understand the procedure involved, as well as how to do your clearance online. This project work makes use of data collection from the university, materials and journals from various authors and the software was developed to effectively achieve the aim of the project. In this project, the implementation of the computer based system was carried out using JOOMLA for the program; in conclusion, this project work is likely going to meet some of the objectives.
THE EXISTING SYSTEM
Objective of the existing system is to unable student to pay all their fees before leaving the school. Some Levis are charged for processing student files and others for departmental dues or otherwise. The clearance system is design to help student pay all their dues and obtain a clearance certificate

University. The software development will be carried out using JOOMLA Ms Access to manage both the database and at the same time make the software online.
1.7
LIMITATIONS
This project covers some of the aspect of a computer software based online clearance system using Caritas University as case study. However the following are the constraints:
TIME CONSTRAINTS:
Due to time constrain the web-page covers only clearance for various departments by the graduating student.
FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS:
Due financial constraints people cannot afford this kind of process online especially towards the cost of accessing the internet. Therefore, it would cost a lot to develop a full web-based clearance system. Some documents were considered confidential and were not made available.
1.8
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Computer Network:
Computer network is a system that connects two or more computers together using a communication link.
World Wide Web:
World Wide Web simply called “www” is the
most important tool of the internet, it was created in the late
1980’s in Europe and was limitedly use in academics cycle.
15
Clearances:
official certification of blamelessness trustworthiness or suitability for graduation and issue of certificate in degree course.
File Transfer:
Any kind of computer file can be sent via the internet from one internet user to another. Table of account in a spreadsheet, design by a graphic artist, music and sound files etc can all be exchanged in this way.
Web Browser:
this is special kind of software that processes hypertext mark-up language (HTML) document. In other words, a web browser is a computer program that interprets HTML command to collect, arranged and display the parts of a web page.
Web Site:
A web site is a collection of many interconnected web page organized by a specific college, organization company etc, containing web page (goods and commodities) on the internet. Web site is stored on web servers. There are many web sites and thousand of HTML pages on each web site. A web is a treasure of information and entertainment.
Hyperlinks:
Hyperlinks are highlighted words and phrase you find on a web document that you can click on as to jump to some other document or internet services.
Online:
connected via a computer attached to or available via a central computer network
Offline:
Disconnected from computer network, describe a computer terminal or peripheral devices disconnected from a computer network.
16
System:
Set of computer components that is, an assembling of hardware, software and peripheral functioning together.

d.
Executive support system (ESS): The ESS is easy-to-use systems that present information in a very highly summarized form. It helps top level management to oversee the company operation and develop strategic plans. The ESS combines internal data from TPS and MIS with external data.
2.6 DATA BASES
In the early days of computerization, it was normal to maintain specific files for individual application. Data where processes centrally in batches and there was little or no online interrogation of data. This approach is
wholly inefficient for most of today’s data processin
g systems. Supporting this vossen (1991) enumerated the problems that result from organizing the data using the file system.
a.
There exist a high redundancy between files which result from the fact that the information is replicated in different places, and that these replications are not controlled by a central monitor
b.
Inconsistencies might result from the possibilities that a program makes changes on the files it uses without these changes being made (at the same time) by all other programs that uses the files.
c.
There exist in flexibility against changes in the application
:
if new actions or event arise in the cause of time, these can be realize at a substantial expense of time.
25
d.
The work of many programmers involved is characterize by low productivity, seems program maintenance is expensive: if the structure of an existing file has to be modify during it life time, then all application program has to be modify correspondently
e.
Finally, there is the problem of adopting and maintaining standard (with respect to coding data format etc), which is important for exchanging data or for migration to new operating system released, or even to a new computer system.
To overcome these problems, data bases where developed. It is now common for large organization to organize their operational data using the data base technology. The subject of data is adequately covered in many works in data base technology. Clifton (1983) briefly define data base as a collection of data supporting the operation of an organization. Quoting CIMA, Lucey (1991) provide a more detailed definition. A data base is a file of data structured in such a way that it may serve a number of application without it structure being dictated by any one of those application, the concept being that programs are written round the data base rather than files being structure to meet the need of particular programs. Russel M. (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computer on such data base system like computerized clearance system. In the world of Dimorji (2003).
“At the center of any information system is a data base, which is
any collection of related information grouped together as a simple
26
item. The term can also apply to the ways in which information is catalogued, analyzed, store
d and used manually”.
Rossell (2005) was also of the view that without computer, effective handling of candidate record cannot be achieved effectively in a data base, all the data is defined together rather than each file being define separately. In fact, all the literature consulted seem to support the fact that a data base is a collection of structured data with the structure of data being independent of any particular
application. Specify the need for data base, O’leary (1996) listed the
following advantages: a.
Sharing: in an organization, information from one department can be readily shared with others. b.
Security: users are giving password or access only to the kind information they need to know. Thus, the payroll department may have access to employees pay rate but they would not. c.
Fewer files: with several departments having access to one files, there are fewer files therefore, excess storage or what is called redundancy is reduced. d.
Data Integrity: older filing system many times did not have integrity i.e. a change made in the file in one department might not be made in the file in another department. As one might expect, these can cause serious problems and conflict when data is used for important decision affecting but department. To advantages enumerated above, vossen (1991) at abbs.

Flexibility (i.e.) it can be accessed at any time Easy way of back up or duplicating data in diskette in case of data loss. Better storage and faster retrieval system. Accessibility from any part of the world.

CHAPTER FOUR SYSTEM DESIGN 4.1 DESIGN STANDARDS
This new system is structured to work with the standard software development procedure. In order to achieve effective online clearance system, Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) were used. This is because SSADM is an internationally accepted software engineering model mainly used in most result oriented analysis and design.
4.2 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN
The sequence of the report is one of the important features that should be concluded. This is emphasized because it forms the basis of the school effective well document up-to-date and formatted output to help as a tool in planning and decision making/based on the student clearance form. There method of generating reports in the new package.
Hardcopy-
This is a process of printing from the printer to paper, and
Softcopy-
It is the process of displaying an output on the computer screen The reports generated by the system include; Student clearance status Student clearance certificate

4.3 INPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN
It is also necessary to denote that data inputted in the computer for processing determines what the output will be. Screen designs are generally or basically made for data entry or capture. Since data are captured from a hardcopy form, the sequence of data capture should be identical to the hardcopy form made for data collection. The new system is composing mainly of two forms of input form, they are:- a.
