Based on the researcher, a web-based enrollment system for Veritas Parochial School (VPS) in
Manila was developed to help its students enroll in a more efficient way without the hassle of waiting long
hours in filling out forms, which sometimes become redundant, or to stand in line and pay at the cashier. It
is with the Web-based Enrollment System for VPS that this new style of enrollment may be achieved. This
new type of system offers its students new options for enrolling at VPS. By logging on to VPS website, one
can register and enroll subjects for a school year. With these, all the students are required to fill out certain
forms that do not take more than a few minutes to accomplish. The system stores its records in the school
Confirmation of the transaction made by the students need to be verified, the payment of tuition
fees must be made in the schools registrar. The students may also browse the web site of VPS and he can
check his current account. He can also refer to the list of the school current tuition fee rates (Pascual &
Riceo, 2008)

importance computerization of student information. This study was conducted with the hope that it would
help minimize time and effort in processing student’s information in Maulawin National High School. The
basic feature of this study is after the storage and access of retrieving and updating the data.
Alcaira (1999), stated that the using of computer are continue to grow, the need for a more timely
information and data processing comes on demand keeping the record of any manual operations need the
application, because handling it manually will only be conflicting. Aravia et al. (2002), show the growing
importance of computers in the society. The significance of the study revolves the automation of student
permanent record keeping. Garnace (1999), developed application software for the computerized
information system of a commercial piggery using the concept of the database and implemented it in
database.
Gumitao (2001), system is designed to provide reports of the list of enrollment per school year,
periodical grade of students, and list of new, old and transferees Revalla (2005) created an Automation
Enrollment System for the computer Science Department of the Laguna College business and Arts. The
study was conceived because of the need to update the current registration system of LCBA, which is done
manually. Her study, was based on the special problem of Mr. Bonifacio E. Bacani, Jr. about “Student
the students records. This is used to provide an effective and faster of providing information of the student
and also the accounting purposes’ Liceo De Victoria Enrollment was developed and implement using

An Online Registration System was proposed to replace the manual enrollment system of Cavite
Maritime Institute in order to advance an organized flow of transaction and an ease of work concerned on
how the manual enrollment performs throughout the institution’s operations. The numerous transactions
that the manual system covers, such as updating and adding student records, generating the advising and
assessment slips, and the like considering the manual operating system to be inefficient for the need of the
institution. Since the study involves proper record handling, tracing the constraints and evaluation of the
manual system is essential (Bacala and Reano, 2009). In educational institutions like Harvent School in
Dagupan City, Composed of elementary and high school level. The school puts premium to its registration.
The enrollment process is the initial stage in gathering bonafide fide and accurate student information
necessary to establish student permanent records. A registration and billing system is needed by the
institution to address the stated situation. The study has been made to help Harvent School gather fast and
deliver accurate information (Calabozo & Fernandez, 2006) Online enrollment system is utilized today by
many universities to facilitate the enrollment of their students into classes every semester (Gaton, 2012).
The system allows students to choose courses they want to take with the available class schedules. This
allows students to make up their time schedules for different class courses without time schedule conflicts.
After the allotted enrollment period, the system runs and assigns slots to students. With the Online
Registration System, students could log in, check their schedule, and set desired changes and pay online
without having to stand in a line and rushing to meet deadlines to accomplish all the transactions required
for enrollment (Ella, 2012). The Online Registration System is a method designed to perform the process
involved in registration, advising, assessments, and payments of students as well as scheduling of classes
According to Aquino (2005), importance of computer application is increasing day by day. In the
latest decades of the millennium winning organizations are those which are willing to integrate business
strategy and information technology in plying their respective trades. The use of information technology
results for them to be able to develop products fast and make decisions fast, ability to have fluid organization
structures, able to cope with the demanding work force and external environment by the rapid development
of innovative approaches, and lastly, using information system confirms the company’s vision and mission.
Schools use information systems in the way of implementing an enrollment system. This results for them
to attract enrollees and earn an income. Enrollees are attracted because the use of the said system makes
the transactions faster and easier. Alcuaz (1988) stated that the use of computer can give competitive
advantage and improve profitability. Computer helps to increase the productivity of people. This is true
whether they are working alone or working with others within a formal organization such as business
corporations. As said by Adrian(2011), “Lack of enrollment system in schools can lead to chaos and
troubles.” Students will be confused on what they should do to be able to enroll that is why such systems is
extremely useful in the way that it gives an ease on working on enrollment processes. Enrollment is very
useful in retrieving vital information of the students. Without it can lead difficulty both for the
administration of school and student in enrollment processes Many countries today, especially the
developing nations are challenged by the rapid technological changes. This has radically changed the living
and working styles of the entire society. This transformation has been driven partly by rapid technological
innovation. While in the 20th century, people saw the rise of the industrial revolution with steam-powered
machines intensifying and expanding human productive power, the 21st century was characterized by the
birth of machine-powered flight and the emergence of broadcasting and computer technologies that extend
the reach of human creativity even more and made new ways possible by which humans could live and
work together (Tinio, 2002). The transformation of manual enrollment transaction to automate and now
into a web-based automation is one example of what was driven partly by the rapid technological
innovation. Any ways just to make work easier and faster like enrollment transactions is possible with the
emergence of computer technologies. Technology innovation had influenced man’s work from data
processing, business transaction, research, planning, monitoring and even in medical operation on human
anatomy are now entrusted to computer technology. Web applications are popular due to ubiquity of its
applications. The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing
software on potentially thousands of client computers are key reasons for its popularity. A significant
advantage of building web applications to support a standard browser feature is the ability to perform as
specified, regardless of the operating system installed on a given client (Bacala &Reanno, 2009). Web-
based enrollment system A web-based enrollment system has features that meet most of academic
institutions system’s needs and requirements. This includes standardized modules for student registration,
enrollment, grade management, and other modules that are deemed necessary to operate a school. Based
on the researcher, a web-based enrollment system for Veritas Parochial School (VPS) in Web Based

According to Jennifer Rowley (2005), information systems are a tool to support information
management. Information systems are increasingly being used in organizations with the objective of
providing competitive advantage. The information systems used by organizations can be grouped into
different types such as transaction processing system, management information system, decision support
system, executive information system, expert systems and office information system. Information
Technology has heralded the advent of the information society. The information society may be a

have been explored. Information system poses a number of issues on society in general, including: changing
employment patterns, archiving, and bibliographic control, security and data protection, intellectual
A registration system is basically included in one of the classification of information system that is
stated by the author, thus it serves as a tool to support information management with regards to the student
data, enrollment fees information and other with a connection to the enrollment process. Every school gain
competitive advantage of having this system for they will have the capacity on handling important
information at ease and with security. The iterative implementation approach is a theory that eliminates
problems of using a waterfall study. This is invented to avoid a linear and sequential development of study.
The overall functionality of the system is broken down into feature sets. These features sets often based
upon use cases from the analysis stage, containing group of individual features that are related, typically by
Adopting the theory of Stephen McHenry which is known as the iterative implementation covers
the breakdown of overall functionality of the system to a what he called feature set and those feature sets
represents different process involve in an enrollment system. It helps locate what feature an enrollment
system will have since that this kind of systems does many activities and processes.
As said by Dunn and Scott (2005), science and technology is the root of emerging innovations in
this world. For many years now, a person in this field of expertise does not stop to reshape the landscape
of today’s business world. Enrollment system has made huge impact into the school arena. It is a system
that is built on innovative program strategies. It is a system that will help both the enrollment personnel-in-
charge and the students to easily process the enrollment at a lesser time. Distinct from traditional enrollment,
LAN enrollment system process large assortment of student records and provides efficient and consistent
information services.
As stated by Holmes (2006), “The Internet is neither an extraordinary communication tool nor
revolutionary. It simply represents the current stage in the development of human capabilities through
written language, which itself derived from the spoken form.― That statement only shows that
advancement in modern technology is at their highest peak. Nowadays, Web-based applications are widely
Web-based enrollment system is currently emerging on markets for they are offering transaction
convenience and service efficiency through the use of Internet. This system becomes a powerful tool in
dealing with information management regarding enrollment transactions. According to Forman (2007),
continuing innovation in technologies can lead to organizational changes that range from improvement of
day to day operation and for easy access it provides for the end users. Many schools today have adapted
this innovation in offering of their services which is parallel with the concept of Tinn (2001), stated that the
computerization responded to the call the office or any workplace to help their daily operation. Malolos
et.al (2002) stated that the study of automation is important in the sense time it minimizes the time and
effort normally exerted in manual process. While Janes (2001) stated that computers are extremely reliable
device and very powerful calculators with some great accessories applications like word processing
problem for all of business activities, regardless of size, computers have three advantages over other type
of office equipment that process information because computer are faster, more accurate more economical.
Reyes (2005) task would be time consuming to accomplish manually and more practical with the aid of
According to Flores (2002), the automation is described simply as the substitution of machine
control of human. Dioso (2001) stated that computer assist careful intelligent planning, organizing,
actuating and controlling .This maybe observed from the past that they monitor production activities, solve
scientific problem and help arrive in tentative answer to a multitude of involved conditions. Ralph M. Stair
(1999) emphasized that the development of technology through the years have enabled us to do more with
less effort. From the orientation of the light bulb to the industrial revolution and beyond, we have
continuously tried to in a more efficient means of doing tasks. Lewis (2002) stated that the reason for using
computers vary from person to person. Some of the computers in business are to perform accuracy, to be
as productivity, to decrease bottle necks or hassles to alter cash flows or to simplify elevate your status.
Gold Chager et al (2003) said that computer as a device for processing information knew computer plays a
significant role in their lives, but few are aware of just how pervasive role is. Mane (2000) mentioned that
the creation of the computer made the easier to accomplish task than by doing it manually, to have the direct
access on straightforward answer just monitoring record where in the needs of computer make possible for
everyone to get data in a particular need. We can consider that the computer is necessary and it is a
productive tool for individual. Gurewich (1999) stated that the database system makes the work faster for
every institution. For the mere fact that instead of doing things manually, with the use of computer
Halili, M.C.N. (2004) that man’s actions are just involuntary movements especially when time
allow to plan his next action. These responses pass through the process of reasoning and analysis.
Huntchinson et.al (2001) stated that file is a collection of related records. Examples are the entire
student’s courses card for Anthropology 101 or the transcript of all courses in the register’s office.
Bryan (2006) emphasized the information system is a set of people, procedures and resources that collects,
transforms and disseminates information in an organization to do’s ends rely on many types of
information system (IS). They might include simple manual information system and informal system and
also computer based information system that uses hardware, software telecommunication and other forms
of information technology (IT). Sander (2002) computers are an intelligence amplifier that can free human
automatically accept and store input data process and procedure output results under the direction of the
stored program or instruction. Tows and (2005), stated that database is instructed collection of data. The
data may be about people, product events in short, any type of information is to manage the collection of
data for reporting and making decision. Adamski (2007), give some advantages of database processing first
economy of scale getting more information from some amount of data, sharing data balancing conflicting

Perkins (1999) stated that computer has an impressive impact upon business, governmental organization;
bank and all sorts of organization and on how they are operate and manage. Alcaria (2004) explained that
the use of computer are continue to grow, the need for a more timely information and data processing comes
on demand keeping the records of any manual operations need the application of computer because handling
it manually will only be conflicting. Kroenke (2002) in the early 1970’s database processing was
considered an esoteric subject of interest only to the longest corporation with the largest computer.
Today, database processing is becoming an information system standard. Silberschatz (2006) in his
book “― the goal of database system is to simplify and facilitate access to data.In relation to Ahitud
et.al (2007) mentioned that information system are more collection of hardware, software and people. They
should be constructed to fit the organization’s strategy and structure so that it could easily be adapted
to the information they needed. Asumbra (2002) Access to information is the best way to. In line with

Inspired by the advancement of modern technology and the problems regarding enrollment
transactions the proponents have come up with an online enrollment system exclusively for school with
many enrollees. Several factors are considered in designing the proposed system. First is the tedious
task of filling out application forms and inaccuracies of information provided by the students that cause
delay on the enrollment process. Other is that were problems on giving and announcing schedules of
enrollees and cause for them to be late at their very first class.
The researchers gathered data necessary in the enrollment system for the success of the study in
providing benefit for the employees and students so they can have access and have the ability to
