DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTERIZED VERIFICATION SYSTEM FOR TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

A system, with numerous definitions can be literally seen in a computer way as a collection of the hardware and software components of a computer.

 According to Stella C. Chiemeke and Franca A. Egbokdara (2006), a system is set of components that interact to achieve a common goal. In another sense, a system is a group of interrelated or intersecting elements forming a unified whole.

  A verification system as in this project is an application program used to verify that someone or something rightly and legally belongs to a collection, an organization or an individual. There are different verification system, notably address verification system, adult verification system and card verification system to mention but a few.

 Student verification system is used to know whether or not a student is or was a legal and rightly registered student. In this context, it is used to

verify that a student belongs/belonged to an institution and to confirm that he/she is properly registered in a particular department running any of the institutions programme.

 This student verification system (SVS), also known as DELSU eVerify is a window based system. It is an electronic and computerized means of verifying someone’s claim of studentship to an institution by means of their matriculation number (Mat No) being input, hence using an output clearly showing the truth or false of his/her claim.

1.1             BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In this modern age, computers have verified the cause of their existence. The advent of computers in our society caused a lot of criticism on the danger it poses on the society. Critics of computer and new techniques express their fear on how computers will displace and replace all human skills thus resulting to mass unemployment. The presence of computer on virtually every field of today’s fast life has proved the critic wrong as the invention of computers and new technologies continues to

create additional jobs for those who identify themselves with computers and new technologies. This make computes partner to human beings in any fields of human endeavour.

 Over the past decades, students identification and verification has been a major problem in large institutions as documents, certificate and studentship can be forged at a great rate and easy way, using the computer negatively. Forgers fail to know that in
