NCCU pre-n

DURHAM - More than 2,000
N.C. Central University students
next will be able to avoid the
traditionally long registration
lines for the spring semester.
For what may be the first time,
pre-registration at the university
has produced complete class
schedules for a majority of its
students.
Payment of tuition, fees, room
and board are the only tasks re

maining ior prc-rcgistercd
students. An eight-day period for
payment of those fees began
yesterday.
Chancellor LeRoy T. Walker
told the university's Board of
Trustees on Nov. 21 that 2,700
NCCU students had completed
the pre-^egistration process.
Those who pay their fees before
Dec. 14 will add several extra
days to their holiday break.
Full-time pre-registered
students with second 'semester
.bills paid in full will not need to
return to campus until Jan. 9.
Their classmates who did not preregister
or who did not pay their
bills in advance will return Jan. 4
for registration.
Long registration lines have
brought increasing frustration to
students and adminUtratnrc at
NCCU. Chancellor Walker cited
difficulties in the registration
process as one of the reasons for
this fall's decline in enrollment at
NCCU.
Walker told the board that
higher admission standards were
not significantly responsible for the
university's 1984-85 enrollment
decline. The 690-student
decline included a drop of about
50 in the number of new students
enrolled at NCCU, Walker said.)
Students who pre-registered
will not face the difficulties
students faced in the fall. Walker
said, and their absence from the
lines will reduce problems for the
other students.
Pre-registered students have
four steps to complete before
they return to classes on Jan. 9,
according to Dr. Bernell Jones,
the NCCU registrar.
The first step is to present their
student IDs at the registrar's office
in the Hoey Administration
Building before Dec. 14. There,
they will receive their completed
course schedules.

Dr. Bragg, who teaches in the
University's Residential College,
received a bachelor's degree from
Bennett College, an M.A. degree
from Case Western Reserve
University and a Ph.D. degree
from Union Graduate School.
She does extensive lecturing in

"I love working with

great strides in the past several
years, many people still believe
in myths about the field, he says.
Many people, for example, don't
understand that the brain is an
organ that can be impaired.
"The brain itself should be
respected as any other organ of
the body that becomes
impaired," says Hunter. "With
this in mind, one should realize
an illness that involves the brain
can manifest itself with impairment
of intellectual skills as well
as emotional and motor functioning.

From the fee assessment sta- H
tion, students will go to a fee payment
station at the communications
building staffed by
representatives of the bursar's of- I
fice. They will pay the tuition and I
fees shown on the receipt form, H
by certified or cashier's check, by
money order, or in cash, but not
by personal check. When the tuition
and fees are paid, students H
will receive a stamped validation I
card and a stamped copy of their I
receipt. I
The validation card and the
stamped fee receipt will be taken
back to the registrar's office,
where the registration process I
will be completed. I
The registrar's office and the I
fee stations in the communications
building will be open bet- |
ween 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. I
each weekday until Friday, Dec. I
Students who will not be able
to complete registration by payment
of bills include those I
students who did not pre-register,
those who do not have complete
class schedules (in many cases, m
because of time conflicts between
classes sought), and part-time I
students.
Students who have been
awarded and credited with
scholarships, financial aid grants
and loans will be able to take ad- I
vantage of the early payment program.
Work-study and work-aid
awards are not credited to student
accounts until the work has
been performed, and are not intended
for payment of tuition I
and fees.
The university's strict policy of
no postponement of tuition and I
fee - payment* wttl continue**
Walker said. I
Although university officials
say the postponement policy was
responsible for half of the fall
enrollment decline, some 350
students, Walker told the board
that he does not expect it to be a
factor in the spring semester. He
said he believes the problems of
the fall semester alerted students
who previously had ignored the
implications of the policy.
