An Example
Draw the DFD for a distance education university. The enrolment process works as
follows:
Students send in an application form containing their personal details, and their desired
course
The university checks that the course is available and that the student has necessary
academic qualifications.
If the course is available the student is enrolled in the course, and the university confirms
the enrolment by sending a confirmation letter to the student.

by the entity is manipulated by the system.
