Abstract

Plan of study is a web application designed to assist students to create plan of study, to view/edit plan of study and to view the status of the plan of study. It's a one stop place for advisors, faculty members and administrators to view students plan of study approve or disapprove student's plan of study. It is designed with the intention of reducing the time consumed in getting approval and reduce the errors while creating plan of study. In the current scenario a student has to download the Plan of study form which is a static Excel sheet fill it, upload it and then email it to the advisor for approval. This process is very time consuming and is prone to errors. It's also very difficult for the administrators to keep track of student's plan of study. With the new system errors can be fairly reduced while creating POS, time consumed in getting approvals can be reduced and very easy for advisors and administrators to keep track of students POS. In the new dynamic POS web application the advisors can update the students and graduation office, the status of POS at the click of a button. Students can email the advisor requesting approval at the click of a button and graduation office to convey the message of POS approval and students can send email at the click of a button. Administrators can also email students to update their POS. This application is developed using C Sharp, ASP.Net, ADO.Net, CSS, HTML and SQL Server for Database. This report gives an overview of the entire project. The problem statement, system overview and the main objectives of the project are outlined in the Introduction part of the report. System Specifications, System Architecture, Database Design and Data flow diagrams for all the functional components of the system are presented under System Analysis and Design. System Implementation explains all the modules, the functionality included in them and the use of stored procedures in this application. System Testing explains how this system is tested and presents the summary results of the testing phase. Finally, the report concludes with the future enhancements to the system and the lessons learned by doing this project.
