In our modern world doing impossible things is now become possible. With the
help of technology, our lives become more convenient and doing things can be done so
fast. Most of the people now is using technology for the fastest and easiest way of living.
Computers seems to have played an important role in today’s generation. It is very much
important nowadays especially to those busy persons working in a company or in the
office. Also it is very helpful to the students for their assignments, projects and more. To
relate all of these to our study, the proponents wants to help a school to have and to
improve their process of enrollment. Simply by proposing a Computerized Enrollment
System that is more effective and much better than using the old system.
Registration
Mary Lourdes academy is after the welfare of the students thus, they prioritize the
enrollment procedure for each and every year level.
New Students
Early registration is being implemented in the school. As early as January, the school
already accepted new enrollees for preschool, grade school and high school.
Enrollees for new students should secure number for admission and must present it in the
admission office together with the registration forms given by the registar for evaluation.
Old Students
Enrollment schedule for the old students will just announce by the school through posting
schedules in the school gate.
For the old students must present their assessment forms to the office.
Admission
New Students
In this process the school will give the list of requirements to the students who want to
enroll in Mary Lourdes Academy. Also the following forms needed to be fill up like information
slip, advising slip and also those necessary information needed to be fill up for the registration
form including the students personal information, Family background etc.
Those form or slip especially the Registration form must fill up properly because it is
needed to present for the students evaluation.
Old Students
The current students of Mary Lourdes Academy still need to have the registration form
that will fill up every enrollment in order to identify if he/she still enrolled in the school.
Registration form is very important in the school thus, every students of MLA must keep
their registration form properly so that they can have a proof that they’re officially enrolled in
MLA.
Evaluation
Evaluation is done in the Admissions Office in order to know the personality as well as
the records of the student. During the evaluation, the students must have the following
characteristics:
PRESCHOOL
Age Limit: Kinder 1: 3-4 years old
Kinder 2: 5 years old
The children must have normal personality and must be able to attend to the basic needs,
particularly to toilet requisites.
Children turning seven years old by June but have not attended even one year in pre-
elementary course may be accepted in Grade 1, provided that they already done with the
interview and take the witten examination given by the Guidance Office.
ELEMENTARY LEVEL
The child must possess good moral character
Transferees are given an evaluation test and interview and they must not have any
offenses from the previous school.
Students requested to transfer for reasons of serious offense are barred from re-admission
to MLA.
HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL
Students must possess good moral character and must not have any serious offenses
committed from the previous school where he/she graduated elementary.
Students should not be a member of any form of organizations/fraternities.
Students should not have any history of being a drug user. If so, he/she is barred from
admission to MLA.
Completion of Requirements
Enrollees who passed the evaluation can proceed to the registrar’s office for the
submission of the requirements needed. Documents to be submitted are the followilng:
Students with incomplete requirements are not officially enrolled and those who not
passed the evaluation must proceed to the guidance office for interview and also for the
submission of incomplete requirements.
The students of MLA who pass all of his/her subjects can be enrolled in the school while
to those who failed in any of the subjects should proceed to the guidance office for the necessary
action.
Interview
The interview is only for the student who failed (have problem) in the evaluation. Important
thing will be discuss by the guidance counselor together with the parent of the child concern. To
those students with incomplete requirements shall proceed to the guidance office for the
submission.
Once the students has already cleared, they can now proceed to the next procedure like
taking the written exam, paying the necessary fees, and attending the orientation.
Payment
Payment is made through the cashier that will give an official receipt (O.R). You can go
to the cashier to pay the enrollment fees, tuition fees, also the books, uniforms, other fees and
material thing issued by the school. Students/enrollees must keep the receipt that will serve as a
proof that you already paid the said payments or fees.
Registration form must present to the cashier in order to pay the necessary payment. No
student is considered officially enrolled in MLA without completion of all the requirements and
payment of the required fees by the Accounting Office.
Examination
MLA gives a written examination for the new students only to know the capability and
skill of the enrollees. The said examination will do in some designated room with the given date.
With the help of this examination, the school might have idea if what section they can put the
students.
All the new students will undergo the exam just for the school to know what section they
are belong. It doesn’t matter whether the student passed or failed in the exam. The school just
posts the students section before back to school.
Old Students
The former students of MLA doesn’t need to take the said examination.
Orientation
After all the succeeding process, students must attend the orientation that will be held at
the AVR of the school. The Guidance Counselor will be the speaker that will explain most of the
school rules and regulation and other provided information. The school principal will be
introduced in the orientation and will give the speech like reminding the students for the Do’s
and Don’t’s.
Attendance is a must during the orientation. Students must present their assessment form
together with one long brown envelope.
Orientation will be the last step for the enrollment procedure of Mary Lourdes Academy.
The current students of MLA doesn’t need to attend the orientation in the school anymore
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
General Problem
The current enrollment system is very tedious, costly and may requires long
processing time. This leads to inaccuracy and inefficiency throughout the process such as
data processing, monitoring profiles and organizing programs.
Specific Problem
Presence of paper loads that causes data and work redundancy.
Since the students are manually filling-up the official documents of the school,
there will be a great possibility to obtain redundant data that can cause further
complexity in the enrollment process.The students need to fill-up the information
slip, advising slip, and three (3) copies of the registration forms for the copy and
record of the accounting office, registrar and for the student themselves.
Time Consuming Enrollment Process
It is the most common problem of the school. In the case of MLA, students were
consuming a lot of time in doing such things. Manually filling-up of the school’s
official documents takes so much work to accomplish. Another thing that causes
the enrollment to be not so fast is, for the instance when student records needs a
confirmation or be updated. The assigned personnel need to go back and forth to
the storage room or to the office just to get the record needed.
Inaccuracy of information, security and file loss
Aside from being time consuming, manual method of recording of information of
the student is prone to human error. Prone to file loss is still at hand due to natural
calamities like heavy rain that will cause flood and unexpected accidents like
fires. Anyone can access the files due to security.
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES
General Objective
To develop a comprehensive Computerize Enrollment System for Mary Lourdes
Academy that will compensate the school’s file-handling, and generation of forms and
other documents.
Specific Objectives
To decrease data redundancy and have an accurate student records.
To improve the enrollment procedures that will decrease working time. Also
to speed up monitoring of student records and transaction that will help the
registrar to update records immediately and for the easy retrieval of the
student records.
To manage and maintain the students record for future retrieval and reference
and to monitor the security of the system and confidentiality of the student’s
records.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Education is very important to every person that is why a good enrollment system
is needed. This can be serves as the basis of each student who wants to enroll in school.
The child including their parent might be glad if they feel and see the beauty of the
service in school through the enrollment. If parents feel not so comfortable with the
school because of very long and time-consuming enrollment procedure then they might
confused if they still want their child to enroll.
Scope
The proposed enrollment system was computerized and possible for its online
application; it covered the major processes in the enrollment system of Mary Lourdes Academy,
Students Information, Billing of fees, Account, report generation (student information form,
assessment slip, student master list, and other forms and reports essential to the system). It also
includes the processing of student’s personal records and the mode of payment that the student
would choose.The student would also be given a selection for the mode of payment that he/she
would like to avail (Cash or Installment, for non-scholars). The system will have a database that
contains the student’s personal data and other information needed for enrollment.Log in name
and password is provided as security of the system so that only the authorized personnel can
access the system.The system will provide reports such as list of students, payment and others.
Automation of the computation of tuition fee, discount and balances.
Limitations
The computerized system was not connected by a means to the current web page that the
school is using. The proposed system would only be used for enrollment purposes only.The
Proposed System is intended for the school only.The system not covers all the data for the
alumni student of the school; it will store only the data that the management would enter in the
implementing year.Only authorized personnel (e.g. Registrar) can use the proposed system.
II. Methodology of the Study
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project
management that describes the stages involved in an information system development project,
from an initial feasibility study through maintenance of the completed application.
Waterfall Model: This model involves finishing the first phase completely before commencing
the next one. When each phase is completed successfully, it is reviewed to see if the project is on
track and whether it is feasible to continue.
Planning
Having an effective and efficient enrollment system is a plus to a school whereas the
faculty and staff would be benefit together with the students. In the case of Mary Lourdes
Academy, the school uses a manual system for the enrollment so we decided to propose a
computerized enrollment system. We see MLA as a perfect school for this proposed system
considering the bigger population of the school and its location. With the help of the
computerized enrollment system it will improve the enrollment process of the school as well as
the faculty and staff. As we went to the said school, we check the system that their using and
think for the alternative solution for their enrollment problem.
Analysis
Mary Lourdes Academy as a private school needs to improve their enrollment by having
a computerized enrollment system rather than using the old fashioned way or the manual system.
Since they are only using pen and paper for the enrollment, it is very difficult for them to keep
the pile of papers for the record of their students. The enrollees might also encounter difficulties
with their records. So, Computers is very much important for this proposed system in order for
the school to have a better enrollment system.
Design
This enrollment system that we proposed is perfect for the school. We ensure that the
design of the said system is suitable and easy to recognize. By putting in a simple but detailed
way of design, anyone in the school wouldn’t have a very hard time in using the system. It will
be also useful to the staff and every detail in the design of the system is appropriate to location of
the school. The researcher used Microsoft Visual Studio in making the interface of the program.
Implementation
Before we implement a system, we would like to ensure that it is surely tested and done
well. The system should be construct in a very simple way that is good enough to have and to
reach the betterment that is seeking in a system. It should be also credible for the users not to
hesitate in using the system.
Maintenance
Every system is like human, it gets tired, get logy and even give up when it is over use
that is why a good maintenance for a system is needed. The proposed system has a weekly back-
up and support. It should be also a man friendly system that is the users will know how to use it.

fast, ability to have fluid organization structures, able tocope with the demanding work force and
external environment by the rapiddevelopment of innovative approaches and lastly using
information systemconfirms the company’s mission vision. Schools use information systems in
the way of implementing an enrolmentsystem. This results for them to attract enrollees and earn
an income. Enrolleesare attracted because the use of the said system makes the transactions
fasterand easier. (Aquino, 2005)

An enrollment system help and provide efficient and reliable services to the students,
enrolment personnel and administration. Moreover, this system improved the process of
enrolment in terms of searching, retrieving and subject schedules. (Lopez, 2005)
Many problems and difficulties were identified in the existing system of Dagupan City
National High School (DCNHS). These major concerns are affecting the efficient enrolment
system of students. Security of the students records were found to be at high risk. The current
system may fail to protect some important documents. It has also untimely and inefficient report
generation. A computerized system for DCNHS shall result to a significant increase in the
number of enrollees. (Cayabyab, 2007)
Based on the researcher, a web-based enrolment system for Ven'tas Parochial School
(VPS) in Manila was developed to help its students enroll in a more efficient way without the
hassles of waiting long hours in filling out forms, which sometimes become redundant, or to
stand in line and pay at the cashier. It is with the Web-based Enrolment System for VPS that this
new style of enrolment may be achieved. This new type of system offers its students newoptions
for enrolling at VPS. By logging on to VPS website, one can register and enroll subjects for a
school year. With these, all the students are required to fill out certain forms that do not take
more than a few minutes to accomplish. The system stores its records in the school database for
future references.

Information systems are a tool to support information management. Information systems
are increasingly being used in organizations with the objective of providing competitive
advantage. The information systems used by organizations can be grouped into different types
such as transaction processing system, management information system,decision support system,
executive information system, expert systems andoffice information system. (Flowley, 2005),
Continuing innovation in technologies can lead to organizational changes that range from
improvement of day to day operation and for easy access it provides for the end users. Many
schools today have adapted this innovation in offering of their services. (Forman, 2007)

Harvard College students register for the term using an electronic registration tool. The
electronic tool is easy to use and should take only a few minutes to complete. During the
registration process, students need to verify their name and their physical return to campus.
Additionally, they are provided with informational documents such as Harvard College's Alcohol
and Drug Policy, Substance Abuse Laws, and Voter Registration Forms. Students are also
required to review and update their directory information. Students are given the option to
register for MessageMe, Harvard University's emergency notification system.
Students will be able to access the Registration tool by selecting the "Campus Resources"
tab of the my.harvard.edu portal. Within this screen, they will see a block called 'Online
Registration Tool'. There should be a Status line with a link to 'Register Online'. Once this link is
selected, they will need to authenticate themselves using their HUID and PIN and will be
presented with a welcome message for the online registration tool. The student receives final
confirmation upon completing the registration process and an email confirmation. Lastly, the
Status line on the my.harvard.edu Online Registration Tool will indicate 'You are currently
registered' when this process is complete.California State University, extensive system of public

Summary of Findings
Before proposing a system, the proponents look for a school that still use a manual system
for their enrollment process. Upon seeking, Mary Lourdes Academy, a private school is currently
using the traditional or old system for enrollment. Proposing a computerized enrollment system
for the academy will be useful and helpful to improve their enrollment process. Through internet
research and reference books,necessary requirements neededwere completed. After gathering all
the information for the said school, the proponents find out that there are a lot of paperworks and
requires more time in order to beofficially enrolled in Mary Lourdes Academy. Also,there is a
high expenses for the need supplies, furniture and fixtures of the school.
Conclusion
Mary Lourdes Academy is having an increase of the numbers of its enrollees, Manual
System for their enrollment process is not enough to process and accompany the growth.
MLA enrollment procedure needs to be advanced and room for improvement.
Recommendation
Innovate their system from manual to computerized enrollment system.
Propose and implement an effective enrollment system that suits the necessary
improvements needed by the school.
