« « M » • * • Page 6„.The Portland O bsener...September 11,1991 Portland Suite University and five area colleges - including two in South west Washington - have joined together to help students tind and register lor needed classes at the last minute with out having to check with each individ ual campus. PSU and the five colleges - Port land Community College, Clackamas Community College, Mt. Hood Com munity College, and Clark College and Lower Columbia Community College in Southwest Washington - will be tied together in a special telephone network during a two-day period, Thursday and Friday, September 19 and 20, allowing instant access to information on course availability. Classes begin at most campuses the following week. A Registration Hot Line will be available in each institution’s central advising office. The hot lines will be staffed by operators who will identify open class sections and register stu dents by telephone. In other words, it all the sections of a particular course are filled at one campus, students will be able to check with the central advis ing office which, using the hot line, will determine the availability ol that course at the other campuses and, if necessary, register the students imme diately. This two-day pilot program was developed by the Portland Area Uni versity-Community College Liaison Committee. If successful, the program could be expanded in the future.
