Automated Result Process System Processing System (A Case Study of University of Port Harcourt)

Abstract

Due to enormous problems associated with manual computation of students’ result and transcript processing in university of Port Harcourt, there is need for efficient method with error free that will enable result to be processed automatically. This system will accept multiple inputs and aid course advisers carry out their responsibilities effectively. A result is an official report and record of student courses with grades. Students result is critical to their graduation. Currently, there is no reliable way to track incoming results. This creates problems for students and staff. Lost or misplaced result has unwanted consequences and delay graduation. In this work, a computer software application was developed to facilitate the automated processing of the results. The software was developed in Java programming language in the form of a database, employing PostgreSQL Relational Database Management System. The developed software performed well and produced expected results on completion. With it, it was possible to compute Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade Point Average for each student based on examination scores entered being the core idea behind the design. Keywords:
