The document proposes a web-based housing application for Methodist University to facilitate the basic operations of the university's housing department. It would allow residence hall staff to manage dormitory and apartment information, assign students to housing and rooms, and print various reports. Students would be able to log in to view their housing assignment and preferences. The application would be built with PHP connected to a MySQL database using XAMPP, and coding would be done in Microsoft Expression Web.
