Background of the Study
Course registration and payment processes are integral to university administration, yet many institutions still rely on manual systems that can be inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors. Bayero University, Kano, like many other universities, faces challenges in managing the registration and payment of courses due to the large student population and limited resources. A streamlined and automated system can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of these processes.
An online course registration and payment system allows students to select and register for courses, pay fees, and track their academic progress in a user-friendly and automated environment. Such a system would reduce the administrative burden on university staff, eliminate manual errors, and ensure timely registration and fee payments. The system would also provide students with real-time information on available courses, payment deadlines, and registration statuses.
The design and implementation of this system at Bayero University will improve the overall student experience, reduce delays in course registration, and ensure that students can complete their registrations and payments seamlessly. Additionally, the system will help the university improve administrative processes and optimize resource allocation.

Bayero University, Kano, currently faces challenges related to inefficient manual systems for course registration and payment. These systems are often slow, error-prone, and difficult for students to navigate. As the student population grows, the current processes cannot adequately meet the increasing demand for efficient registration and payment methods. This study aims to design and implement an online course registration and payment system that will automate these processes, improving efficiency and enhancing the student experience.
