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. The committee will help address some student and faculty concerns about eliminating bubble sheets, and some unique problems will arise if the sheets are done away with.
