Abstract 
STUDENT RESIDENCE MANAGEMENT 
SYSTEM

The University of the Western Cape (UWC) houses approximately 3500 students. A total 
of twelve University residences, with eight located on the Campus and four off campus. 
Occasionally, the University would house students off campus if there is a demand for 
accommodation. The Student Residence Management System is developed to facilitate 
application for accommodation online and to help the staff to manage the different 
residence activities such as controlling booking, payments and room allocation. The 
Student Residence Management System will be able to notify and confirm all room 
allocations. Room allocation confirmations would be sent by email to students who were 
given accommodation. The development of this system also focuses on security of the 
information and privileges and access rights are attributed to students and administrators.
