The Document Submission Management System facilitates document management between students and university staff. As international students, we often times need some documents in order to go back to our countries and then come back to the USA, or have a CPT or OPT to work, and many other important documents. As far as we know, Texas Wesleyan University does not have a large amount of people, so address all the issues is very complicated. Therefore, we decided to create a system to facilitate and help the international students and staff. We want to create a webpage system that would allow students to request documents from the international office. The request process would work like students would have to login onto the website using their TXWES credentials. Then, once on the webpage, they would have to specify what kind of document they want to request. After selecting the document, a list of all the necessary information will pop up. After they submit, the status would automatically be “requested” and the person in charge of providing the requested document would access the database and manually change the status to “processing” once they receive and confirm all the information needed. Later, when they have their documents ready for delivery,the person would change the status of the request to “completed” meaning that the document is ready.
