Abstract
One of the most important activities of a University is organization of lecture for her students using lecture time table. However, the time tables that the Universities are using are manually done, which make the lecture timetable not be easily accessed, inaccurate, inconsistence, and time consuming in preparation. This study therefore carried out the automation of the University lecture time table with a view to getting a reliable, accurate, easily updated and easily accessed lecture time table. The method used involved interviewing the faculty sub-dean, the Head of various Departments in the faculty to get necessary relevant documents like the lecture venues, course lecturers, list of courses in the various Departments, population of students in each level and the duration of the lecture. An object programming language with a PHP was used to design the automated software. Comparative analysis was also made of the new automated system with the old manual method. Findings showed that the automated time table generated is error free, accurate and reliable and can also be used to generate future lecture time table.
