Pre-registration starts today —
guidelines will hasten process
Fast to begin April 14
Pre-registration starts to
day and students need to
follow certain rules and re
gulations in order to insure
that that process goes
smoothly, according tc
Mark Albertson, registrar.
Mr. Albertson suggests
these guidelines:
All students need to regis
ter according to their current
classification. This includes
through winter term and
does not include this spring
semester. Students who do
not know their current class
ification may check on their
pre-registration forms for
the number that corresponds
lo their class — 5-senior.
4-junior, 3-sophomore, 2
and 1-freshman, and 6-spe-
cial.
Before handing in the
forms to the registrar make
sure the adviser has signed
all the forms and that the
section has been indicated
for each course number. Do
not separate any part of the
pre-registration form. The
computer will match the sec
tion letter with a specific
time and the two must be
' the same. Students who regi
ster for labs must do so
separately and on a different
line from the course. Labs
have separate numbers and
letters for identification.
Repeat courses or courses
taken pass/fail or audits
require separate cards that
must be filled out in order
for the registration to be
complete. Pass/fail cards
must be filled out prior to
the first day of classes.

Students are allowed to
take two pass/fail classes.
Pre-registration this spring
has been increased to seven
days from last year’s five.
This is done to make the
process smoother and the
allotted time for each class
longer. According to regis
trar, Mark Albertson,
“There is no need for stu
dents to come to the regis
trar’s office at six in the
morning. Try to check by
the office several times dur
ing your class allotted time
and choose the best time.”
“Several other things need
to be checked before a
ftudent completes pre-regi-
stration,” says Mr. Albert
son. Students should check

mittee has dismissed four
senators and four other sen
ators have resigned.
