Registration for spring slated by Fekadu K.iros Stntint!I Reponu
Registrotion for Spring Semester for returning students is sci from Dec. 7 10 Dec. JO. Technical s1uden1s will register on the first morning of regis1r.:uion day. They are given priority because of the nature of their schedule. said Registrar Karen Streeter. 'They do no1 lake very many academic classes. and they have to work around their technical courses," Streeter said. Students who have earned the self-advised s1a1us will register after technical students. Most self-advised students rue those who arc in their second year :ind have 45 or more credits prior 10 the currenl semester. Next self-advised students who have completed 20 or more credits and students who were enrolled last semester will register followed by lirsl time freshman and students on probation. To help studcms in figuring out their registration day and time, a list of names that has the number of credits !Oken prior to this semester and the slams of each student (selfadvised or advisor assigned) will be posted in
the Studen1 Union Building, Admissions Office and Rcgislration Office. IJ information is prinied incorrcc1ly. this will be a good time for students 10 check with the Registration Office S1ret1er said. A few changes will be mode 10 last semesters registration. The "direc1admit registration forn1"(which is similar 10 the application for admission form in which students write the classes they are going 10 take) used for full-lime students last semes1er will not be used this semester because of the complica1ions it caused. Last semester. some full-Li me students did not get finoneinl aid even though they were eligible because their name was entered in the computer as "non-degree seeking" students and as such they were not eligible for financial aid Streeter said. The form. however. will be used during the evening course registrations. which are Dec. 7 and January 12 from 4:30 10 7 p.m. and for OutReach Campus registration on Tues. fan. 11 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in Donner Mall. Sandpoint and Keclogg High School in Keelogg. Reg.istration by telephone will be avnilable
for nigh! school and Qui Reach s1udents on Dcc.5 from 5-7p.m. Sludents registering by phone must "pu1 1hcir classes on a credit card and charge it," Streeter said. Continuing students who arc currently enrolled, but fail 10 register In lime will hove priority the fi rst morning of registration on Dec. I2. The morning registration will be dedicated for returning students. New students and returning s1uden1s that hove been out of school will register next. If s1udent~ have nol passed the English Competency exam, they will not be allowed 10 enroll in English 104. Strceicr said. They c:in register for all their other classes, but they wou ld hove 10 wait until they pass the English Competency exam that will be given Dec. 20. They will be allowed to ndd an l!nglish I 04 course if they pass, said Streeter. Registrniion is expected 10 proceed about the same as last semester. "At most schools registration for Spring is a llnle less than registration for Fall," Streeter said, "but I expect preny much the same number here. It is going 10 be a long line again."
