Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Enrollment has always been a struggle for every student. Collecting the data from enrollment forms become a difficult task for the registrar and class advisers. In order to have an organized system of consolidating and sorting students' registration form, the researchers designed and developed an online enrollment system. Through the online enrolment system, students can enroll and fill out forms at the comfort of their homes. The registrar and the class advisers are authorized to retrieve, consolidate, and sort the data submitted by the students online. This program also brought convenience in accomplishing clerical works for both advisers and registrar.

METHODS

This research utilized descriptive developmental approach. The researchers designed and developed an online enrollment system and asked for the evaluation of the students. To determine the effectiveness of the program, the researchers conducted pilot testing by asking all the grade 12 ICT students to use the online enrollment system. The data were gathered through a survey questionnaire during the ICT expo where the researchers presented their program to the students. Convenience sampling was utilized by asking students who tried the program to evaluate the online enrolment system.
