CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  Background of the Study

Academic growth can be of various concerns in an academic environment to promote social and functioning educational system. For an effective educational system to take place there are some issues in an academic environment that should be properly addressed, take for instance issue of complaints management system in the university. This issue had created a lot of problems for an academic growth in the various aspects of the educational system. To support this approach, this project identifies a range of options that can be used to manage and resolve Academic complaints. This includes, where the opportunity presents itself, the need for an administrator to make every effort to resolve potential or actual academic complaints as informally as possible in the first instance.

Handling complaints often involve first, to listen and understand, empathize, offer a solution, execute the solution and then follow up. Dogan and Wilkinson (2016) defined complaint as any expression of dissatisfaction about services(s) or about any professional conduct.  it prompts more prominent clarity and consistency of executive activities to determine the protests. Design and implementation of online complaint management system is to maintain an effective, timely, and equitable complaint handling system which is easily accessible and offered to complainants (students) at no charge. This project defines the policy and steps for handling and resolving complaints and also to appeal for an un-favored situation and for this process to take place there must be automation of the system that will handle the complaints process and appeal method of registration. Automation can be defined as the aspects involved in using a computer system for the tasks or process such as circulation, implementation etc. In relation to the above preposition by Marcus, it is possible for the design and implementation of an online complaint management system to yield substantial benefits for the users (Marcus, 2000).

1.2  Statement of the Problem

Design and implementation of online complaint management system is a web-based application that will solve the problem facing student in the university environment. The basic problems facing complaint monitoring are:

1. Lack of fitting security and upkeep of the complaint record in the system that makes an avenue for disappointment and control of information.
2. Lack of legitimate precise, concise data about the student implicit rules and character.

This is a circumstance where there is no avenue made for survey of the complaint. This obstructs satisfactory upkeep of the system.

1. There is no system or database set up to screen transfer of complaint submitted on paper or as verbal representation

1.3  Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of this project is to design and implement an online complaint management system. To achieve this we shall be guided by the following specific objectives:

1. To evaluate the existing paper-based information of complaint management system.
2. To design web-based complaint registration and appeal management system.

iii.    To implement a new system called complaint management system for student Affair Division of National Open University, Asaba. With the use of HTML, PHP and MYSQL.

1.4  Significant of Study

The significance of this study is to serve better than the existing system which is highly manual and therefore difficult in terms of monitoring the complaint in the University, improve database and enhance effectiveness, efficiency, and security of the system. It is also intended that the study will help in the development of a new and hopefully and standard better computer-aided system.

The new system will save time, reduce improper handling of complaint system and also improve the relationship between student, lecturer, and management.

The system is expected to be easy as a student can log in their complaint anytime, staff and management also can equally response to student complaint in a more easy way.
