Abstract

Technologically, alumni tracking system is one example software platform used to track alumni. It eliminates the need to track graduates using pen and paper or having to gather in person, the need to manually track alumni in the school.

Through the software development (SDLC) methodology, the steps were carefully implemented. The problems, issues, and challenges in the tracking processes, and management of the alumni tracking were identified. The study was conducted at Licerio Antiporda Sr. National High School- Dalaya Extension.The problems and challenges include but not limited to timeliness in the provision of immediate, accurate, and reliable data of alumni; the process involved is time-consuming and requires more manpower to track alumni; issues on safety of teachers in tracking alumni. The manual processes were systematically improved with the implemented system. The system was made available online in a secured hosting facility making it accessible across different web browser and media or devices.
