Development of Electronic Payment System to Handle Tuition in HEI: with a Case Study in Indonesia

Electronic Payment System used to handle tuition payments is an important information system in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). By having this system integrated with the academic information systems owned by HEIs and the electronic banking system owned by bank partners, HEIs can provide anywhere-anytime and easy tuition payment services for their students. This book discusses the development methods as well as the designs of an electronic payment system to handle tuition payments where the development was housed in the HEI of the case study, Parahyangan Catholic University in Indonesia. In executing the project, the developer team collaborated with the bank partner providing electronic banking services. The development has been successful and the system has been being used since December 2009. Every semester approximately ten thousand students and their parents pay tuition electronically using electronic banking services as well as traditionally using clearing services or cash payments. The management of the university is able to properly manage tuition payments and resolve many financial problems encountered in the past.
