Abstract: This research, entitled "ENHANCING GRADUATE SCHOOL THESIS ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH DIGITALIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF WUP LIBRARY SYSTEMS," aimed to develop a system that could help graduate school students to access the graduate school theses easily and in a user-friendly manner. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Model (Royce, 1970) was employed in this study. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is an organized method for designing, developing, testing, and implementing information systems. The researchers adopt the following five stages of the SDLC model: First, planning; second, analysis; third, design; fourth, development; and fifth, testing. The study found that beginning with a clear objective to enhance academic research access, the planning and analysis phases ensured that the system would meet user needs while integrating seamlessly with existing platforms. The design phase established a structured framework for content organization, secure access, and ongoing maintenance. Utilizing a no-code approach with Google Sites and Google Drive, the development phase produced a fully functional and easily manageable digital repository. Finally, testing results confirmed the system's stability, efficiency, and usability, affirming its effectiveness in supporting academic research and digital access for graduate students.
