Y . . 4 . 47 tt Next Collegian Wekorne Fresh! Ort t r B at ty Tottrg t a. Out Wednesday' 'ER PENN STATE VOL. 54, No. 1 Orientation Begins . for 3475 Freshmen Thursday, Freshmen will register for fall semester classes Thursday and Friday in Recreation Hall. Before registering, students will meet with advisers to decide what courses to take. Advisers generally suggest that a student sched ule some courses required in his curriculum in order to get them out of the way. This enables the student to take courses in, his major field which have prerequisites in future semesters. A prerequisite is a course which must be taken before a student will be accepted in an other, usually more advanced course. Taking required courses first also gives a student greater lee way in choosing electives later on. While meeting with advisers, students fill out a trial schedule form., making use of the College timetable, which lists the meeting hours for each class. Registrees may have to alter this schedule in Rec Hall - if the section of a course a student has listed on his trial schedule is fill ed, and thereby closed to further admissions. In that case, the student will refer to the timetable to find a section of the course which is not filled. Filled sections are listed by number on boards placed above the department station. If the hours of the new section conflict with the meeting hours of another course on the trial sched ule, the schedule will have to be altered once again. In some cases it is necessary to drop a course completely , and select another course of the same number of credits to take its place. Prior to registering, students must pay fees in the Bursar's of fice in the basement of Willard Hall. Students will not be admit ted to Rec Hall without a receipt-__ ed bill. Registration must follow the al phabetical listing printed on the cover of the timetable and the registration envelope supplied by advisers. Once, in Rec Hall, a student will receive a pair of cards for each course he is scheduling: Cards are supplied at department stations in Rec Hall. The College has specified that each student must register fo r himself at the proper time in the alphabetical listing. Students who register late will be charged a $lO late registration fee. Timetables on Sale Timetables may be purchased from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in Willard. Hall, the Scheduling office has announced.
