 A Bustle During Registration Registration days at Catawba Valley Technical Institute are very hectic. Students enrolling in cred- it courses are expected to register for course work on the day and at the time specified for each person each school quarter. Non-credit class registrations are usu- ally held at the first class meeting. A student's schedule for the new quarter must be approved by his faculty advisor and arranged through the announced classes by the Student Personnel Of- fice. It is the student's and the registration assis- tants job to see that each person is placed in the desired class at the right time in the right section. When a student is scheduled to enroll on the last registration day during the last hour, he usually does- n’t have much luck in getting any of the desired class times; but there is always another registration when his name may be on top of the list. is

Convocation Day All first year students enrolling in the fall quarter participate in student orientation. The new students ore acquainted with the CVTI environment, courses, policies, phi- losophy, staff, and other students. Assem- bJies, lectures, open discussions, and stu- dent handbooks help prepare the new ar- rivals for beginning studies at Catawba Tech. Through this method of welcoming and introducing the first year students to CVTI and its ways, students have a friendlier attitude toward their new school. 14
