Registration, circa 1967, card files, photo 1
Description
This image shows students lining up to recieve their Student Master Card for registration at Appalachian State University (1967-current). Students can be seen crowding around a counter where they search card files before registering. 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.
