So You Failed To Register « ■ ■ Kmrrnld St:iff Writer By LAVUEN EVENHON Whnt should a student do to get bis grade recorded if he has failed to register for the course ? Registrar C. L. Constance ex plained that, first of all, Univer sity rules allow the first two weeks of each term to officially add or change courses. Merely at tending class does not constitute registration; the registrar's rec ords are the official ones. If a student discovers after the first two weeks that he has not registered for a course (usually because he has failed to complete the changing process when add ing!, he may petition the Aca demic Requirements Committee to have it added. The committee Is composed of faculty members appointed by the University pres ident and approved by the Advis ory Council. The committee’s decision is based on an evaluation of facts from the student, his advisor, and tire instructor. They partic ularly want to know why the student did not register in the specified time. Jf the student has been misad vised by someone on the staff, the committee Is much more likely to approve registration than if it is through the student's own negligence. However, they are always looking for evidence of good faith. "The committee has to strike a balance between strict compli ance with the rules and the be lief that the record** should show the exact facts of the courses at tended and grades earned," Con stance stated. The feeling is If a student is in a course and has done the work, he should receive credit. However, the student has an ob ligation to register correctly. •'Hiere's one faculty point of view that a student's registra tion is a contract with the Uni versity.’’ Constance explained, "and of course no contract can cover something that is not writ ten in it. Under this view, no changes would be permitted.” Although the committee does not usually take such a severe stand, they do deny a consider able pioportion of the requests because the only explanation is carelessness. Not more than 50 petitions are filed a year. When the registrar's office re ceives a grade but discovers that the student has not registered for the course, the student is called and requested to petition the committee. Strict rules must be enforced to prevent students from attend ing classes and then registering for only the ones in which they earned good grades. Job Opportunities Feb. 21: J.
