Design and Implementation of Web-Based Digital Campus Navigation and Orientation System for New Student

Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital student guide system for Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) to enhance the transition for new students by providing easy access to essential academic and campus information. The proposed web-based platform, built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a database, will deliver real-time updates on class schedules, course codes, venues, credit loads, and integrate an interactive campus map and academic calendar. Unlike traditional printed materials, which are prone to becoming outdated, the platform ensures that students have access to the most current information, including event locations and campus services. Additionally, the system will feature a resource section containing guides on campus facilities, academic support, and student services. Designed to be responsive and optimized for low-bandwidth environments, this platform aims to improve student engagement by offering personalized features and streamlined access to critical resources. By centralizing and digitizing campus navigation, the system seeks to provide a more efficient and user-friendly solution, empowering new students to engage confidently with their academic and campus environment.
