Courses may be obtained begin
fling Wednesday from the office
of admissions and registration.
The final (lay for schedule
changes is Saturday, Sept. 21, and
Oct. 30 is the last (lay to drop a
course without penalty.
Some 2,200 students--incoming
freshmen-are completing their
re-istration this week. But for
nearly 10,000 others, the process
gets underway Monday.
"Our biggest problem," accord
ing to E. Glenn Overton, associate
director of admissions and regis
tration, "is that everybody tries
to register first without respect
to schedules and without respect
t- each other.
SCHEDULE
If students would follow the
schedule, they wouldn't have so
many lines," Overton said.
