The activity execution at university level is different compared to the secondary and primary level. University is a place where student are taught to be an independent person especially in making a decision.All the co-curricular activities in the university will be handled by student. However, all the co-curricular activities are controlled by Student Affairs Department.Thus,all the activities that student want to execute have to be endorsed by the Student Affairs Department permission.There are a few rules that permit student to execute the activity. Students, who want to make an activity, first have to make paperwork to propose their activity to the Student Affairs Department. Nevertheless, only students which their club registered under Student Affair Department can write activity proposals. All the paperwork must follow the guideline from the Student Guide Book. Any proposal which does not follow the guideline will be rejected.The problem that students face is on how to make sure that they follow all the guidelines and fulfill all the required instructions. When a proposal has been created, students have to meet their club advisor and Sport & Recreation Committee to get their signature,comment and approval before it can be sent to Student Affairs Department. There is also a problem where student have to postpone their activity at the last minutes because of the clashes of activity with others activities. These problems can be solved if there is a system that enable to standardize the format of the proposal and also can provide the information on the availability of date to reserve the activity time.
