The Web Based Graduand Clearance System enables the heads of departments in
Makerere University to query for cleared students. The project was developed because of
the lengthy and numerous paper work procedures that students in Makerere University
under go to clear with different university departments in order to get their transcripts.
We collected data using interviews and observation from the users. In particular, we
interviewed students who had already cleared with different clearing departments in 2017
such as; the police, university hospital, halls of residence and the library. The collected
data was analyzed using excel spreadsheets. The project was designed using Data Flow
Diagrams (DFDs) for the process model and Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) for
the data model. It was implemented using technologies such as Hyper Text Markup
Languages (HTML) for the interfaces, cascading style sheet (CSS) for styling the
interfaces, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) for connecting the database and the interfaces
and MSQL for the database.
The Web based graduand clearance system serves as a more reliable and effective means
of undertaking students’ clearance, removes all forms of delay and stress, enables a
student to understand the procedures involved in clearance using their web.
In conclusion, the project was able to clear graduands. It is, however, recommended for
use by all students of Makerere University.
