Registering Course thru Short Messaging System

The project, Register Course thru short messaging system, is to enhance the registering
process. Mostly the users of this application are students. The student can register
courses anywhere, independent of mobile operator or phone model. The current online
registering systems that are used in UTP are tedious and time consuming. Sometime
UTP website cannot be accessed by the student when network down. Looking at this
problem, the short messaging application is an alternative tool to handle this problem.
The objective of this project is to develop a short messaging system application that
manages course registration. The student can use this application on their mobile phone.
They need to submit some parameters that include their details and course code that they
want to register to a SMS provider such as 39777, and then they will get the response
that shows their registration status whether have been accepted or not. The methodology
used is System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It includes project definition and
planning, project analysis, project design, and project implementation. The tools used
are Active Server Pages, Microsoft Access, hand phone and web server
(www.utp.teksi.net). The short messaging system is very important as it gives lots of
benefits and opportunities to many industries use this new technology. For this project,
registering courses thru SMS is used to provide an alternative solution for course
registration and it will benefit this institution.
