Registration Office Remodeled ' , - i ryM l l i i r 4.1 iney wisn. l ne oniy cusauvanuige oi uie new system is that all registration for classes By Dave Poison Remodeling means change in registration proceedures. The registration desk on the Provo campus is being remodeled to accomodate the new computer system to be used in registration this fall. The new counter will have four separate computer terminals and four cashier windows to speed up the registration process. As a result of the new system, the registration proceedures will be changed to speed up registration. There will only be two steps to register. Students will simply present their completed registration form at the registration desk, where the form will be run through a scantron machine, which will enter the student's schedule on the computer. Next, the student proceeds to the cashier's window and pays the necessary fees and tuition. Upon payment, the student is officially registered. Some of the benefits of this new system are: class roll sheets may be distributed to instructors on the first day of class, classes will not be closed until actually filled. There are no computer cards to get lost, students may varify schedule on registration and students may mail in registration forms if and changes in registration must take place on the Provo campus.
