Abstract
The optimum condition for students to study is in an environment
where they can access virtually all they need to know about courses,
lecturers, locate places (for fresh and prospective students), validate staff
identity, access past examination questions easily, identify vacant student
hostels within and outside the school premises. Some of the reasons for
students’ failure can be attributed to finding accommodation within or
outside the school premises. Also, fresh students find it difficult to locate
specific places in the university environment and some students find it very
difficult to interact with staff. This paper presents a student self-service
portal to address some of these challenges. Unified Modeling Language
(UML) was used to model the system. The model was implemented using
Microsoft C#, Microsoft ASP.net, Microsoft SQL Server, and Google Map.
The proposed system was tested and the result obtained during the execution
shows that the system is capable of addressing some of the challenges
confronted by students.
