Abstract
This Project work intends to address some of the problems encountered in the allocation of hostels to students manually in Universities . The growing number of students in higher institutions posed a lot of accommodation problems on the part of students and School Management. Some of the problem caused includes, Few hostels that exist in the University are not Properly managed, Statistic of rooms required to match the growing number of students are farfetched, Student pays fee for hostel and may end up not getting rooms because of lack of bed, Hostel administrators cannot give accurate information of the occupancy of a particular room. In respect to all these existing problems a system will be designed to manage a database for allocating hostel to student. The system designed will keep track of all the available rooms, their occupants and funds generated from hostel fees. The New system will be implemented using Visual Basic 6.0 and access Data.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The growing number of students in higher institutions all over the world has posed a lot of accommodation problem on the part of students and school management. Students at the beginning of each session waste half of the semester looking for accommodation. The few hostels that exist in the universities are not properly managed. Statistics of the number of rooms required to match the growing number of students are far fetched. Most often, students pay for hostel fee and end up not getting one due to lack of bed space. Hostel administrators can not give accurate information of the occupancy of a particular room. These and many more forms the statement of the problem that necessitated this research work.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The project is designed to help in the management of hostel allocation in the university. The main objective of the new system includes:
1) Design and develop a central database system that would serve as hostel database, which will contain information on all the available rooms in the hostels.
2) Design a computer – driven hostel allocation system for allocating hostel rooms to students.
3) To generate reports on hostel occupancy and financial reports.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The research work is will cover among other things:
1. Hostel allocation
2. Hostel fee payment
3. Hostel rooms registration
4. Financial reports.
The research will be carried out using caritas university, Amorji Enugu.
LIMITATIONS
Some of the constraints encountered during this project design include the following:
• Financial Constraints: The design was achieved but not without some financial involvements. One had to pay for the computer time. Also the typing and planning of the work has its own financial involvements.
• High programming Technique: The programming aspect of this project posed a lot of problematic bugs that took me some days to solve. Problems such database connections using visual basic and access database posed a lot of challenges.
• Few Literature Sources: The topic though seems to be a common term; it is not a popular topic to surf from the Internet. It had fewer literature sources.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The new system designed for computer driven student’s hostel allocation will among other things:
1. Facilitate timely allocation of hostel rooms to students
2. Check the hostel occupancy at any time for information management
3. Sum up the total amount realized from hostel fee each session
4. Enable management to plan on improving hostel living condition.
5. havefirst hand information on the statistics of students in the hostel.
