Design of a Prototype Web-Based Students’ Record Management System – WEBSTREMS

Information, a principal resource in any business entity has become an important driver of any system. In the academic community, information is especially very important. Students within the system must register for courses approved for the semester, take examinations and check the outcome of such examinations once approved by the authorities.
