Abstract

This paper introduces a new electronic system for dropping courses that do not rely on the cumbersome paper system traditionally used by educational institutions. The new sub-system of the On-Demand University Services (ODUS Plus) will eliminate the hierarchical and inefficient paper system, which results in institutional delays. By using both quantitative and qualitative techniques, as well as a correlational methodology, it will be shown that, withdraw approval requests have streamlined, thus improving the system to process such requests. The following study will outline the efficacy of using ODUS Plus for course withdrawals by college and university administrators. The findings suggest that the implementation of such a system has a dual value; namely, it improves efficiency and functions as a source of knowledge regarding student academic preferences.
