DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED HOSTEL ALLOCATION SYSTEM A CASE STUDY OF DELTA STATE POLYTECHNIC, OZORO PRIVATE HOSTEL

This research work is based on Design and Implementation of a Computerized Hostel Allocation System (Study of, Ozoro Private Hostel). As with most real world activities, the most apparent to this project is the association of the entire process. The significant of the study is creating a system that will enable prospective hostel managers or caretakers to do their allocation with ease from any location of their choice through the help of a centralized database. This database is the basis for all actions in the system and can be trivially updated and used to aid in all of the system’s processes, meaning all of the required information is stored in one central location and thus is easily accessible. This is a far more reasonable storage method than a paper-based file system, where the time of traveling to and physically searching the records for the required information could be a burden. Human errors could also be a factor in that mistakes could be made in the filing process which would not occur in a well written database system and mistakes or changes on physical records can be messy to correct.
