Abstract
In today's world, the introduction of advanced computer based information technologies in all
sectors of activity turns out as one of the most effective means to lead to sustainable
development. In this perspective, we have made a research work to assess how Cavendish
University Uganda (CUU) can take advantages from these technologies to increase its
productivity and maintain the best lever of competitiveness.
This thesis will also serve me in the fulfillment of the requirements to obtain a Bachelor's
Degree in Business Computing at Kampala International University.
The automation of registration and transcript management system is one of the means to lead to
an effective and sustainable development. With the integration of the language barrier-free
software in the management of registration and transcript, Cavendish University Uganda will
notice significant improvement. The design and the development of a software capable to deal
with difficulties encountered by Registration and Examination office in their daily activities has
been carried out in order to provide a better solution to the problems said before.
This product is important for development and maintaining a best level of success in Academic
activities by providing the result as: Help the academic affairs (Registration and Examination
office) workers to improve the processing of Registration and Transcript management, used to
allow the access to the form of registration, follow up and monitoring of all CUU Academic
affairs activities. In addition the information recorded will be used in generation of dynamic
reports required at time.
Also the main objective of this research work was to model a system that could provide solutions
to the problems of the manual system that we have stated before. Our objective has been
achieved because we have developed and tested the CSR TMĀ© software system with sample data
with successful results (outputs).
To reach our objectives, the methods of interview and the documentary helped us to really
understand how the existing system is working. MERISE method helped us also in the analysis,
conception and development of the new system. The main objective of this scientific academic
research was to design, implement an interactive Automation of Registration and Transcript
Management System that lead to provide a solution to the problem encountered in Cavendish
University Uganda by migrating the inefficient system to modem system with the integration of
the language barrier-free software and tree tier Architecture. This will contribute positively to
mission and Vision, to become a Center of excellence in the region.
This Academic research has been successfully achieved with a practical solution using different
technologies model such as the Contextual model as well as the Conceptual model of the process
and data security feature embedded.
