Enhanced Hostel Registration Application

Enhanced Hostel Registration Application (EHRA) is an android application designed to help
hostel registration process in higher learning institution. Current hostel registration system is
still using paper and pen method. The data and information such as room number, student’s
name and student’s ID number is stored in standalone Microsoft Excel worksheet. It cause a
lot of problems such as room redundancy, duplication of student’s details, time consuming
and difficulties to staff and student. The usage of paper for the registration process could
contribute to poor waste paper management after it no longer has been used. The objective of
this project is to develop android application with data storage system for hostel registration
process in higher learning institution. Another objective is to promote green computing
environment in higher learning institution by reducing the usage of paper in hostel
registration system. In developing EHRA, the type of methodology to be used is Rapid
Application Development (RAD). By applying RAD in the development process, there are
four main phases: requirement analysis and system designing, project prototyping, system
testing and execution. As the result, EHRA is designed with a few features such as room
tracking, student’s information tracking, add roommate and data storage.
