Integration of Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) Into A University’s Portal

Abstract

Though universities have web portals that students can visit to get
information about their course of study, the web portal contains too
many features (personal data, course of study data, payments,
hostel allocation, etc.) which become overwhelming for students.
In addition, poor internet services and high cost of data
subscription has always been responsible for the frustration of
students to access information in university portals. This study
presents a system that uses Unstructured Supplementary Service
Data (USSD) and internet technology to help students find specific
information in the university portal, seamlessly.
