Abstract
Online clearance system is a research work that will help build an efficient information
management for the university. It is aimed at developing a system for making clearance before
graduation. This will help build a more reliable and effective means of undertaking student
clearance, removing all forms of delay and stress. This project work will help you to understand
what school clearance is all about, the procedures for clearance before graduation, how to do
your clearance on the web and a design and implementation of an online clearance system for the
university. Moreover, the design and implementation will be carried out using HTML, PHP-
MYSQL.
