The Marsabit Campus miniportal runs independently of the main campus system. Each student signs in with their own account to see exactly what belongs to them — nothing more.
Existing records stay intact. If your campus is migrating from an older system, student records and financial information are preserved exactly as they are — the portal only adds secure access on top.

Students register with their admission number. Staff accounts are created by the Director or Principal and approved the same way.
The workspace above is a complete, working interface. To make it a live portal that serves every student and staff member on any device, the campus needs a hosted backend. Here is exactly what has to be set up.
Accounts, student records, notes and payments must live in a server database, not in a browser.
Sign-in must be verified on the server so a student can never open another student's records.
PDF lecture notes need a place to live that students can download from.
Money and marks are the two areas that must never be editable by the wrong person.
Student lists, marks sheets and fee reports export to Excel from the server, so the figures always match the database.
Nothing already held by the campus is discarded. Existing student and financial records are imported into the new database as they are.
Next step. Contact the campus office on 0791 398 141 or tcpgretsacollegemarsabit@gmail.com to arrange hosting, database and staff account setup. Until that backend is in place, the workspace above is a demonstration of the interface only — it does not hold real student or payment records.
