Changes in Information Technology (IT) allow schools to utilize databases and applications such as Online Student Information System (OSIS) thus, making the accessing of records centralized. One of the changes that came about is the online‐based applications. These applications improved the traditional‐ transaction processing systems. Thus, most universities switch to the online‐based system because of its effectivity to acquire, process, store and retrieve information from the Internet. Moreover, the system is accessible to all students’ information.Benguet State University (BSU) is still using a semi‐computer based system and paper‐based student information system. Staff finds it tedious in searching and preparing reports on student’s information and also laborious due to repetition of processes done in filling and updating of records. As main goals of the school “to generate and disseminate new knowledge and technologies that will promote sustainable resource development and enrich the competent and effective services geared towards efficiency and economy” the current system is inconsistent with the asserted school’s main goals.The methodology used in the study was Rapid Application Development (RAD). RAD is designed to provide quick software methodology that involves iterative development and quick construction of prototypes.
