I would also recommend an if function around that switch to make sure 
that the POST var has been sent in the first place

if (isset($_POST['usertype'])) {
	switch ($_POST['usertype']) {
		case "student":
		case "staff":
		case "admin":
			break;
		default:
			// ...
	}
}

	.. or ..

if (isset($_POST['usertype']) !== 'student' && 
isset($_POST['usertype']) !== 'staff' && isset($_POST['usertype']) !== 
'admin') {
	// ...
}
