, Students
may get in
full classes
By BUDDY MOORE
News editor
Some students shouldn't be too
surprised during pre-registration
if they find that classes they
wanted to take next semester are
already filled.
But eventually about 90 percent
of those students end up getting
into the classes, according to
Lucy Lawhead, scheduling director
with the Registrar's Office.
Pre-registration begins today and
ends Thursday.
"The departments figure so
many students will drop the
classes," she said.
"Many students preregister
before getting their grades. Then
when they find out they passed
the class, they come in later and
drop it," she said.
"We had a problem with some
math classes last fall," she said.
"The freshmen during orientation
needed to get into certain
classes, and they already were
filled."
If a student wants to enter a
class that has already been filled,
he may get an override slip from
the proper department that will
allow him into it.
"If there's big demand for a
class, they will open another section
or move the class to a larger
room," Lawhead said.
Certain classes tend to fill up
before others, Lawhead said,
citing English 287, a survey of
American literature, as one of the
most popular.
