Short messaging System (SMS) is becoming a common media of communication in Malaysia not only because it is economical but also fast and accurate. As for this project, the main objective is to develop a final examination retrieval system via SMS where students in UTP are able to SMS to access any examination information. To retrieve the information, students will need to send the requested course name or subject to a service provider number and after a short while they will receive their final examination information on their mobile devices. This new method is developed to propose a new method for UTP students to view their final examination information. In order to develop this project, a research was conducted on several areas to assist in finding more knowledge and understanding about the new method of retrieving student’s timetable. This project has used the Waterfall methodology. The result of this project will be an Examination Timetabling System (ETP) where students can retrieve and view information at anywhere and at anytime.
