BREAKING NEWS
At 8:00 last night, online registration ceased to work.
Students filed into Waldshmidt Hall filling out registration forms by hand, while others called the office about their registration difficulties.
Registrar Bobbi Lindahl said that there was a steady stream of calls, but she was unsure of the source of the problem. Unfortunately, no IT staffers were on duty to assess the problem.
Junior Rachel Hinnen walked out of the registrar's office reassured.
"I feel very relieved that I got my classes because that made me panic," she said.
Junior Kara Hamada managed to sign up for three of her classes, but two were already closed.
"I thought something was wrong with my code," Hamada said.
The registrar's office was scheduled to close at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, but the office stayed open past closing time to answer telephone calls from students and to assist students registering for classes with paper forms.
"It's very nice they stayed open late to help students," Hamada said.
Students having problems registering online should call the registrar.
