Students sign up for classes In the spring of 1982, students were given the opportunity to preregister for fall classes. Seven thousand and twelve students took advantage of preregistration from April 12 through 30. Four thousand nine hundred and eighty four students chose to register at regular or late registration. For the Spring Semester, preregistration dates were from Oct. 28 through Nov. 17. Preregistration reduced the number of students at regular registration from 11,406 to 4,404. Preregistration, which was introduced in the fall of 1981 had many advantages over regular registration. The first advantage of preregistration was that it helped the university ' s management gain information. They were able to project whether to drop or add sections in departments. Preregistration also gave students a better idea of what to expect in the upcoming semester. In January 1983, a new preregistration policy was proposed. The Dean ' s Council voted on going to ballroom scheduling. This new policy would eliminate schedule requests and instead use labels. An advantage of ballroom scheduling would be that students would know their schedule exactly when they left preregistration. A disadvantage of the policy would be that labeling is a step back from computer class scheduling; however, the new policy would probably work out better in the long run. 1. Over 4,000 students went through regular registration for the Spring Semester. 2. Students wait in line at (JPD to register their vehicles and receive parking permits. Kevin Geil 2. 26-Registration
