EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to design and develop a RFID-Based System for Class Attendance and Room Accessibility of University of Rizal System-Morong in which could help in providing room security and restriction implementation together with digital attendance monitoring system for students and teachers use. Specifically, this study aimed to evaluate the level of acceptability of the device in terms of design, functionality, usefulness, accuracy, workability, user-friendliness, and safety and maintenance. This study was conducted by the researchers at the University of Rizal System-Morong on the 2nd semester of the school year 2016-2017 and 1st semester of the school year 2017-2018. Qualitative description was used in this study and weighted mean was used to determine the level of acceptability of the device in terms of design, functionality, usefulness, accuracy, workability, user-friendliness and safety and maintenance. A questionnaire checklist was used in this study to determine the acceptability of the device, which consists pf three parts. Part 1 is the respondent's profile, which is optional. It includes an option to determine if a respondents is a professor or a student. Part II is the determination of the level of acceptability of the device in terms of design, functionality, usefulness, accuracy, workability, user-friendliness, and safety naf maintenance. Part III is the comments and recommendations for the device. The researchers use the 5-point Likert scale which includes the scale, range and verbal interpretation to indicate the responses on the questionnaire-checklist. For evaluation on the level of acceptability of the device, it was concluded that the level of acceptability of the device in terms of design was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.6. as of functionality, it was revealed that it was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.68. in terms of usefulness, it was concluded that it was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.65. as for the accuracy, it was revealed that it was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.56. in terms of workability, it was concluded that it was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.69. for the user-friendliness, it was revealed that it was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.64. and as of safety and maintenance, it was concluded that it was very much accepted as perceived by the respondents since it gained an average weighted mean of 4.64. The general acceptability of the RFID-Based System for Class Attendance and Room Accessibility was found to be very much accepted as evaluated by the respondents with a general average weighted mean of 4.64. Based on the analysis of the gathered data, the RFID-Based system for class attendance and room accessibility was successfully developed and constructed and the system performed its function excellently in its entire feature. Based on the findings and on the comments and suggestions of the respondents and the researchers, the following recommendations are set forth. The software must handle more than one room in a building which can be used for centralization of the rooms connected and must be accessible via internet in order to check the attendance reports in the database without opening the main server. Also, the software must provide a list of downloadable reports of attendance in excel or portable document file (PDF) for monitoring purposes of the authorized personnel or faculty. And finally, the device must have an emergency button in case of mishaps and errors.
