Winter Term registration involves a much lower volume of requests, making it a perfect test before regular registration is implemented in the future, said Jeffrey Hollander, assistant dean of academic affairs and director of Winter Term. Winter Term registration is a step in that direction. From Nov. 8-16, students can submit Winter Term course requests via computer. Winter Term registration no longer requires a bubble sheet. The page provides a description of each course and its instructor.
Students then enter the course numbers of six classes they'd like to take in order of preference.
Students can also tinker with selections any time during the request week. After Nov. 16, the Winter Term Office will officially register students' preferences. Program to be worked out Ypma is now looking for a system that could handle the high volume of often-complicated requests during regular registration. She also wants to put together a committee of students to talk about what they would like the Web-based registration to offer what the current bubble sheet system does not. As with any change, students and staff will have to adapt, Ypma said.
