Purpose of the report

This report is aimed at describing the development of an online registration system at Prince Sultan University. In particular, it is necessary to describe the problems which were previously faced by students and show recent developments in this system. Finally, this report provides recommendations for further improvements in online college registration.

Introduction and background

Previously the students of Prince Sultan University were able to register only through the Students Affair Office. For instance, a person, who wanted to his/her schedule, had to wait for a substantial amount of time to settle this issue. The lack of an online registration system resulted in continuous lines and inconveniences for many students as well as faculty.

Sources and methods

While preparing this report, I interviewed several of my fellow students who expressed their opinion about the ways of improving the online registration system in the university. Furthermore, I relied on academic sources (Tatnall & Visscher, 2009; Tsai 2008) which show information technologies can facilitate the educational process and improve cooperation between teachers and students.

Main Body

Current Status and achievements

Recently, several changes have been made to improve the work of the online college registration system. Currently, students can log on to the universitys website and choose the subjects, which they want to take during this semester. Apart from that, they can learn about different courses, which are available to them. Overall, it is possible to argue that these changes have been of great help to the students. This is how the process of online registering has evolved. This trend indicates that the administration of Prince Sultan University attempts to establish the most innovative practices in this educational institution.

The problems that were encountered

The interview, which I conducted, indicates that some problems were not resolved completely. For example, some of the students feel that the administration of Prince Sultan University should provide more detailed information about different courses and materials. They need to know more about the syllabus, requirements for the course, and its relation to the students chosen major. In other words, before the selection of a subject, students must understand how it will help them achieve professional goals. This information must be available via the Internet.

Conclusions and recommendation

The system of college online registration has recently become much suitable for students needs. Yet, one can make several recommendations which can improve the functioning of this system:

To provide detailed information about different courses so that students knew what kind of knowledge or skills they could acquire by taking them. This will enable them to make more informed decisions.
To describe the requirements which a student has to meet to sign up for the course.
To provide more information about various degrees and courses which a student needs to take to obtain the degree. Secondly, the administration of Prince Sultan University needs to provide guidelines to prospective learners, especially if we are speaking about the selection of courses.

By implementing these changes, the administration of the university will promote the interests of teachers and students. Overall, one can say that effective utilization of information technologies is an indispensable condition for the functioning of educational institutions and Prince Sultan University should take full advantage of this opportunity.
