Abstract
The term exeat is not popular. However, it is akin to systems implemented in boarding schools, colleges and some institutions of higher learning. It is probably known widely as a “passâ€, “exit permission†or “leave of absenceâ€. Software and systems have been designed and developed particularly for corporate institutions to keep accurate log of employees’ leave. For academic institutions especially at the tertiary level, the manual method of exeat scheduling, authorization and authentication is the norm. This paper presents the design and development of an electronic exeat system which automates the manual system which is known to be cumbersome, challenging, difficult, unsecure and expensive. The case study is Babcock University, a privately owned institution of higher learning. The software developed proved to be very efficient and a robust management tool for the school administrators.
