Registration, circa 1971, course selection, photo 1
Description
This image shows students signing up for classes at registration in the Varsity Gymnasium, built 1968, at Appalachian State University (1967-current). The registration process included placement tests for freshmen, class signup, payment of fees, and vaccinations from Health Services for students without proper immunizations. In the 1970s, registration was done for the first time by computer. Students submitted schedules through the mail, where it was entered into the computer, which selected courses based on availability. Only students who had incomplete schedules or needed to make changes had to appear at registration, which shorted the lines considerably. When students registered for a course, they obtained a course card that was submitted to the professor on the first day of class, seen lying out on the tables. A staff member can be seen organizing papers in the foreground, and the department names are taped to bleachers behind the tables on the right.
