ABSTRACT
The management of student records in the University faces some
challenges. This research work was, therefore, a study of the Status of Student
Records Management in the University of Cape Coast. The study was a
descriptive survey research. It was aimed at finding out the challenges which
define the status of the management of student records - admission, registration,
and academic achievement records - and the provision of suggestions to improve
records management practice.
The purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. A total
of 239 respondents made up of 131 lecturers, 90 students, and 18 personnel from
the Division of Academic Affairs took part in the study. A.questionnaire
instrument was developed to collect data from 230 respondents, while an
interview schedule was used to collect data from 9 respondents. The
questionnaire data were statistically analysed using frequencies and percentages,
and the interview data were used to support the discussions of the results.
Results from the study indicated that the University managed the creation
of student records well, and that of the maintenance and use aspect of t:Ie student
records fairly well. The results further showed that the main challenges in the
management of the student records occurred in the retention and disposal phase
of the records which were not being managed according to the records' life
cycle. The acquisition of materials, recruitment of personnel, and formulation of
directives were suggested to improve practice. Generally, the Status of Student
Records Management in the University of Cape Coast was rated average.
