Abstract
Information and communication technologies have been described as ubiquitous and its application in
every aspect of organisational endeavour cannot be underestimated. This prompted the research question
of how do tertiary institutions use ICTs in the process of record management of students. Descriptive
survey design method was adopted sampling one-quarter of the entire population of study. The
questionnaire pre-test result yielded an overall reliability coefficient of α = 0.84 above 60% coefficient of
determination. The total population was 695, while total sample was 174 with 134 returned questionnaire
copies found useful making 74.7 % of the total sample. Research questions and hypotheses were analysed
using descriptive and inferential statistics. Hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant. The
findings showed that there was a high level of availability of ICTs resources and a great impact of use of
ICT on students‟ academic records management. Also, ICTs was found to be highly beneficial when used
for students‟ academic records management and there are high challenges identified. The study therefore
recommended that ICT infrastructures like cloud storage and other relevant software should be enhanced
to improve record management.
