The document provides an example DFD for a university admission process. The DFD shows that a student first submits an application form which is then inspected by the university authorities. If accepted, the student receives an acceptance letter and is registered. They are then enrolled, provided an orientation schedule, and a student list is created. Finally, the student pays fees by receiving fee details, making a payment to the cashier, which is recorded in the financial database.
