CHAPTER V

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND

RECOMMENDATION

A. Summary of Findings

The primary purpose of this study is to make a computerized program of

the enrollment and billing system of the student of Misericordia Dei Catholic

School.

Based on the questions stated in Chapter I, the summary is presented as

follows:

1. What is the needed information in making the Computerized Enrollment

Information System of MDCS?

The Computerized Enrollment and Billing System of Misericordia Dei Catholic

School requires the personal data of the student such as name, address, gender,

age, parent’s information, siblings name(if they have any), and requirements

needed to enroll.

2. What programming language would be used in making the computerized

enrollment system?

The researcher used the old Visual Basic 6.0 with Microsoft Access as the

database. These were used because Visual Basic (VB) is easy to use and user-
 303

friendly. Also, the researcher has more knowledge to VB than the other programming

language.

3. What are the benefits of the computerized enrollment system for both staff

and students?

The benefits of the computerized enrollment and billing system of Misericordia

Dei Catholic School to both MDCS staff and students are, the enrollment is way

more quick and accurate in computing bills for the student. Student’s information

can also be stored securely and can be updated anytime. The payment transactions

of students are recorded; so that they can monitor the students’ payment

transactions. The collectibles or the total bills of all students of MDCS are

summed. The system can also show the population of the student at every grade

level. All information and payment transaction are stored and can be seen only by

the authorized user: the MDCS staff. This system can also print the list of enrolled

student, the payment history of every school year with summed bills from the

students, student list wherein you can print it by grade level, school year or

section and invoice or payment report for reference only. There is a

backup\restore function wherein only the administrators can use the said function,

can back up the database to a specified folder and restores it.

However, the disadvantage of the computerized enrollment and billing

system of Misericordia Dei Catholic School is, it can’t be used without electricity

since it runs through the computer. The data inputted but was not saved yet to the
 304

database will not be recovered when the power supply is interrupted while

inputting the data. Thus, they need to be inputted it again. And this will be

obsolete in the future because there is a probability that this system will not

function because of advanced technology.

B. Conclusion

The researcher concludes that there is a significant difference between the

existing manual enrollment system and the computerized enrollment and billing

system of Misericordia Dei Catholic School in which it lessens the work of

MDCS staff in enrolling students as it automatically computes the bills of a

student according to their grade level. The students’ information is stored securely

to the database and can be updated anytime the authorized users want.

C. Recommendation

The researcher recommends this study to Misericordia Dei Catholic

School for them to have less work when it comes to enrolling students. Also, they

can assure that the student’s information is secured, can view each of the students’

information with ease and update them.

Because of the fast improving technology, the researcher recommends this

study to other researchers who are interested to make the same work, upgrade the

system, or add features such as printing of students and parents’ information,

SMS notification, and grading system.
