Uganda Martyrs University tuition clearance system:

Abstract

A Tuition Clearance System is an information and management center that has come to the rescue of the depletion and duplication of data in the finance department of an institution. But despite having a system that can operate as efficient as possible, data integrity and sovereignty is not a guarantee. A case to consider is where a student comes to pay up their tuition and loses the receipt during times of clearing for tuition, making it difficult to prove that the student paid up their tuition. A project was carried out at Uganda Martyrs University with the aim of reducing the time taken and cost incurred when managing the different payments made by students. The project looks at addressing the different challenges students and finance department faces to clear and keep tuition payment details of the university. The Tuition Clearance System will be of great importance to users by creating a platform where each transaction is inputted and then a report is generated to create a follow up way for the ability of other departments like registry to follow up a specific student’s payment. The Tuition Clearance System has some of the key features like the ability to capture the finance details of each transaction that the student makes in the finance department as regards to the tuition payment. The System can be able to compute the balance according to the specific course that the student has paid. This will show how dynamic and good the system is at simplifying the calculation issues of the department. To achieve the best out of this work HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CSS and JavaScript were used for the design of the web-based system
