Abstract

This research investigates the late registration patterns among Faculty of Education students at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University based on data from the academic year 2565. The study aims to understand the causes and issues related to late registration and explore potential solutions using statistical analysis, including percentages, averages, and standard deviations. The research is divided into two parts, focusing on basic student information and types of late registration requests.In the first part, the analysis of basic student information reveals that the majority of late registrants are female, accounting for 71.55%, with males at 28.44%. The highest number of late registrants comes from the Mathematics Education program, constituting 28.44%, followed by Early Childhood Education with 23.54%, and Social Studies Education with 6.72%. Among the academic years, the fourth year has the highest number of late registrants (27.21%), followed by the third year (24.77%), and the fifth year with the least (12.23%).The second part focuses on the types of late registration requests, with the most common being registering after the deadline (33.63%), followed by changes in registration (29.96%), and withdrawal from courses (9.78%). Analysis of the identified problems reveals that exceeding the academic calendar deadline is the most significant issue, with an average rating of 4.15, followed by financial problems and registration fee payment delays with an average of 3.95. Other issues include late registration fee payments (3.88), changes in study plans (2.16), and health-related problems or accidents (2.14).Based on the research findings, recommendations for improving education services and operational efficiency include enhancing communication through online platforms, addressing financial concerns, and educating students on the registration process. The study highlights the importance of adapting to current societal and economic conditions, integrating technology into daily life, and fostering a better understanding of registration procedures for optimal service delivery.
