This study examines the role of cloud computing in enhancing the efficiency of students’ data management at Niger Delta University (NDU). The study employed a descriptive survey design, targeting ICT personnel and exam officers, with a sample size of 86 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation to determine relationships between cloud computing adoption and student data management outcomes. The results revealed a statistically significant moderate positive relationship between cloud computing and student data accessibility (r = 0.491, p < 0.01), as well as student data safety (r = 0.507, p < 0.01), indicating that cloud adoption substantially improves both the ease of access and security of student records. The study concludes that leveraging cloud technologies offers a viable pathway to enhance administrative efficiency and data security at NDU. Recommendations include phased cloud adoption, investment in ICT infrastructure, capacity-building for staff, and the establishment of governance frameworks to ensure data privacy and compliance with regulatory standards.
