1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Caritas University is a private
university approved by the federal government of Nigeria on December 16
2004. It is situated in Enugu and was officially opened on January 21,
2005 by the then Minister of education Prof. Fabian Osuji with all its
student staying in hostel. It is the second catholic University in
Nigeria founded by Rev Fr Prof Emmanuel Paul Mathew Edeh C.C.Sp OFR. The
proprietor of the University is the sisters of Jesus the Savior, a
religious congregation founded by him.
Caritas university source of
fund is based only on students payment no external funding like other
public universities. To these effect proper documentation of student
payments record are highly essential hence the need to present receipts
as evidence of payment before been render services like Hostel
accommodation, Students Registration Number, Students Identity Card,
Medical Treatment, Given access to library etc. Students who do not
present these receipt are been denied these services even when there
have paid or not in order word it is expected by all students in the
institution to always carry along their receipt whenever the are in need
of these services. At these juncture it may interest to know that the
above service are been paid into one account and the receipt issue is
one. Going about with these receipt throughout an academic year has
really been challenging for the students as many has lost theirs or
others been turn which has lead majority into frustration or been force
to pay extra money for a new receipt.
It is also observed that even
with the receipt there is a high delay in services render to the student
these is because of their growing large number and the manual process
of assessing their records before been render services.
Since
development come, that triggered the necessity to record information in
different areas of endeavor, it has always been difficult to manage
large amount of data. This is still a serious problem not only to the
institution but to Nigeria economy as a whole. The present system used
manual way of writing on paper and recording. These process is very slow
and the proposed system, management information system been introduced
to solve all this problems. This new system will be capable of
retrieving data from its database where payment records can easily be
access, updates, delete without any receipts for confirmation.
The new system will also meet the need of fast processing which greatly reduced response time.
