College Dean Gordon M. Stewart first announced the proposal Sept. 2 in The Cavalier Daily. Bunker said the committee proposed the change to coincide with changes the University made in the last two years. Before, students had to wait in line at Memorial Gymnasium to learn if a paricular class is open. The priority registeration allowed athletes, for example, to adjust their schedules around practices. But Bunker said, with the new ISIS system, students can figure out their schedule quickly.
Students now canlearn if a class is open or closed over the phone.
Bunker said, priority registration is not as necessary, practically. She said the University Registar looks at ways to improve the registeration system every year. This year, the Registar decided to consider to look at priority registraton. This year, they compared the priority registeration process with similiar universities. Bunker said she does not think the change will affect admissions.
