Development of An Information System for Tahfidz Single Tuition Fee Adjustment at UIN Ar-Raniry Using The Waterfall Method

Abstract

The Single Tuition Fee (UKT) Adjustment Program for Tahfidz UIN Ar-Raniry is an effort to provide appreciation to Al-Qur'an memorizers through fee relief. Previously, the registration process still used a manual method using Google Forms, which experienced obstacles in terms of data integration, tracking student history, and administrative efficiency. To overcome these obstacles, this study aims to develop a web-based information system called SIPUKTA (UKT Tahfidz Adjustment System). This system was developed using the Waterfall model which includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The framework used is Laravel and this system supports main features such as student self-registration, memorization assessment by examiners, and automatic printing of exam cards. The results of black box testing show that all system functions run effectively and in accordance with user needs. The implementation of SIPUKTA is expected to improve the efficiency, structure, and transparency of the UKT Tahfidz adjustment process at UIN Ar-Raniry.
