ABSTRACT
Education encompasses our lives and as the foundation of our society, it has
importance that cannot be overlooked at. Student admission momentous role in the
activities of any school because, no students, no school. Inefficient admission
system reduces the number of efficient students in the school due to its speed,
delay and integrity. The numerous benefits of digitalization have made applying
for admission these days to be computerized such that a prospective student uses
the web to apply. But the processes of admitting a student that applied aren’t
digitalized. Those applications are humanly screened and not digitally screen.
Online admission system will not only accept applications from prospective
students but, the received applications will be screened digitally and humanly. The
human screen rules will be automated to enable the digital screening of
applications to know the fulfillment of the requirement by each applicant. This
research system, ONLINE STUDENT ADMISSION SYSTEM FOR FEDERAL
UNITY COLLEGES adopts the Dynamic System Development Methodology
(DSDM) and is designed with VB.net (HTML and ASP.net) and SQL as the
languages for the interface design and the database design respectively. The IDEs
used are Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server Management Studio 2008 both of
Microsoft Cooperation. Adobe Photoshop CS5 was used for the graphics design.

INTRODUCTION
The quest for education and knowledge has gained a great momentum and
corners of education. Education encompasses our lives and it has formed the
foundation of our society. Education helps to stimulate our minds and mold
inquisitive minds into intellectuals. Higher learning takes the intellect to the next

Federal unity colleges are owned and established by the Federal Government
of Nigeria. After the Nigeria civil war in the year 1967, the 3 Rs – Reconciliation,
Restoration and Renovation was introduced by Gen. Yakubu Gowon was to foster
unity in a notion that her unity has been scarified on the altar of war. This led to the
establishment of federal unity colleges in the then 12 states of the nation. Initially,
it was established in the four cardinal points of Nigeria which are “Federal
Enugu (East). As reported by Nigerian Best Forum in the news by Fortune on June
22, 2009 and written by Andrew, Gen. Gowon said now has 104 unity colleges”.

Pupils who successfully completed their primary schools are only admitted
into any of the unity school in Nigeria upon the success recorded in the NECO’s
