Abstract

Education is priceless and every academic institution needs to be very serious about its management and administration in order not to mess around with the students' academic headway. Therefore, there is need for them to significantly improve and incredibly convenient arrangement by which former students receive final academic transcripts. It is indeed a nightmare of unimaginable proportions to attempt to get academic records from some universities, especially in recent times. This is as a result of the administrative heedlessness of some record officials in the university. A request for an undergraduate transcript means the requestor sometime is expected to wait longer than expected with the hope of getting his results. This paper proposes a Transcript Xpress which will open new and convenient routes to key educational solutions to information, providing application service delivery and ensure that proper records are kept in tact. This will improve the university's efficiency and effectiveness through the provision of high quality information system and services. Transcript Xpress will be the catalyst for change through improved educational solutions.

Introduction

The need for transcript for further studies is becoming more ramparts since many universities need current and final transcripts while other universities may only need those final transcripts of students who have been accepted. There is a need for universities to computerize all their records and update their systems to eradicate all delays resulting in sending supporting documents to enable students achieve their academic goals. It is regrettable that many prospective graduate students have lost admission opportunities within and outside Nigeria as a result of their inability to obtain their transcripts to support their applications on time. We view this matter as a serious national problem and to address it with the seriousness it deserves. There is no guarantee that the requested documents will arrive, or arrive in a timely fashion Such is the frustration of obtaining transcript from some Nigerian institutions of higher learning. We have come up with a fast way of computerizing the students’ records since the inception by first digitizing the records; capture the data into the database for transcript processing
