DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB BASED STUDENT ACADEMIC ADVISING SYSTEM

Student academic advising is very important for development of students in different institutions of learning but it always involves a time-consuming effort when the traditional system is employed. A web based academic advising system has been implemented in this study in order to solve the issues between students and the academic advisers, by making advising more convenient, taking complaint from students, evaluating and generating reports, suggesting possible answers to the students’ questions. The researcher surveyed the existing procedures as utilized by many institutions and then implemented a computerized solution in order to enhance their overall advising experience. The researcher presented an outline of the design and implementation of a computerized e-Academic Advising System as a web-based application. The researcher built a model that the academic staff can access to follow-up the students’ complaints and suggestions. Also, the students can register academic complaints, seek advice and more from the system. The e-Academic advising web-based system is developed and implemented with HTML, CSS and "PHP" as a Web framework which runs via the structured query language (SQL) as a Database engine
