Abstract

Manual student admission at SMP Swasta Taman Siswa Sugarang Bayu required applicants and parents to visit the school, while staff recorded and searched paper forms. This study developed a web-based admission information system using a user-centered design procedure to align its functions with applicant and administrator workflows. The procedure covered understanding the context of use, specifying user requirements, producing design solutions, and evaluating the implemented functions. The system was modeled with Unified Modeling Language, implemented with Bootstrap and MySQL, and organized into applicant and administrator modules. Applicants can register accounts, authenticate, complete biodata, enter report-card scores, and print documents; administrators can manage users, menus, information, applicant records, scores, and contacts. Black-box testing across seven navigation and transaction scenarios produced seven successful outcomes (100%), with no broken links observed in the tested workflow. The system therefore provides a functional digital alternative to the former paper-based process. Because the evaluation was limited to functional verification, future work should quantify effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, accessibility, and security with representative users and deployment data.
