Background of the Study
Admission processes in higher education institutions often involve large volumes of paperwork, requiring significant resources and time to process applications. At Federal University, Lafia, the traditional paper-based admission processing system has led to inefficiencies, delays, and the risk of mismanagement or loss of important documents. The shift towards a paperless system is a natural step in modernizing and streamlining the administrative functions of educational institutions. A paperless admission processing system offers benefits such as faster processing, reduced administrative costs, and improved data accuracy.
Implementing a paperless admission system allows for the digitization of application forms, documents, and communication, making it easier for both the institution and applicants to manage the process. By automating routine tasks such as data entry, verification, and document submission, the university can increase efficiency, reduce human error, and enhance the overall experience for applicants. This study explores the feasibility of implementing a paperless admission system at Federal University, Lafia, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and potential impact on the university's operations.
Statement of the Problem
The manual admission process at Federal University, Lafia, has resulted in numerous challenges, including delays in processing applications, loss of important documents, and increased administrative burden. Additionally, applicants are often required to submit multiple hard copies of documents, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs. The need for a streamlined, efficient, and environmentally friendly system is becoming increasingly urgent. A paperless admission processing system has the potential to address these challenges, but the feasibility and impact of such a system at the university are not fully understood.
