Objective

We aim to build a system where students can track their academic records such as results, and see the status of various fees such as semester fees and monthly tuition fees, which will be shown as due, paid, and so on. Additionally, guardians of the students can also check the results and fee payment statuses. Users will not need to wait for weeks to get their result status, as our system will fetch results in a very short time.

Features

1. User Registration and Login: Both parents and students can sign up and sign in. Registered users may have additional benefits such as access to the notice board, academic calendar, upcoming events, etc.
2. Result Checking: Users can check results within a few moments.
3. Fee Tracking: Users can track the payment status for monthly tuition fees and semester fees.

Relation to University

At Metropolitan University, students currently have to send an email to Onestop for their results and wait until the results are manually checked and sent back. Additionally, students don't have access to check their payment status and must go to the account section to ask the accountant for any dues or payment status. Our Student-Parent Portal will automate these processes, allowing users to easily get their results and fee payment statuses by providing their student information.
