Registration, circa 1967, card files, photo 2
Description
This image shows the registration process at Appalachian State University (1967-current). A student searches through a printed list of classes while standing in front of a row of card files. Four employees can be seen searching through the files for students. Four employees stand in the foreground helping students from behind the counter. The registration process included placement tests for freshmen, class signup, payment of fees, and vaccinations from Health Services for students without proper immunizations. Prior to registration, students had to complete a registration packet, including a Student Information Card, a Locator Card, Program Cards for courses, a Fee Card, a Motor Vehicle Card, and a draft card. On registration day, a student submitted a completed Registration Approval Form from his advisor, with selected course and section numbers, to the Registration Center in the Education Building, built 1925, where the course cards, signifying a student's entry into that course and section, and a Student Master Card were obtained. Both had to be checked and punched before a student could attend classes. In 1967, lines on registration day had students waiting in lines for more than three hours.
