e-Absence Approval System (e-AAS) is a digital platform developed to streamline the submission, verification, and approval of student absence documents in higher education institutions. The conventional process of handling medical certificates (MCs) and other supporting documents often depends on printed copies, emails, or messaging applications, resulting in fragmented records, delayed approvals, and increased administrative workload for both students and lecturers. These limitations may affect the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of absence management.  e-AAS provides a centralised and systematic platform where students can securely upload medical certificates or supporting documents, submit absence requests, and monitor the status of their applications. Lecturers are able to review submissions, verify supporting documents, approve or reject requests, and maintain digital records through a single interface. The system also enables organised record storage, minimises the risk of document loss, and improves traceability for future reference.  The implementation of e-AAS is expected to enhance administrative efficiency by reducing manual processes, shortening approval turnaround time, and promoting a paperless working environment. The system supports accurate record management, improves communication between students and lecturers, and contributes to institutional digital transformation initiatives. Overall, e-AAS offers a practical, efficient, and sustainable solution for managing student absence approval while improving the quality of academic administrative services in higher education institutions.
