Fail Registration Now Slated For April
By MARTHA MARTIN
News Editor
Last September, during a USBG dialogue with students and administrators. President Edward T. Foote II advised the group that the University of Miami would implement a registration system in April for the 1982 (all semester. The registration system is now final and will be debuted April 13-16.
Unlike the previous system MARS (Manual Advanced Registration System) where students registered early for the fall semester, this program is the actual process students would otherwise go
through in August.
Sidney Weisburd, registrar, says students should take advantage of the system because no money is required (unlike the $125 non-refund-able fee the MARS program included), and that by registering in April the student doesn't have to spend the summer worrying whether or not he will get the classes needs in the fall.
"1 want retention to be the goal,” Weisburd said. "Therefore, we expect to have 100 percent undergraduate student participation in this registration."
The MARS system did not prove as successful as was anticipated. In
1978, MARS' first year in operation, there were approximately 2,800 students that participated In early registration; in 1979, 3,600 students took part; and in 1980 ap-proxiamtely 4,300 UM students used the early registration method.
The new system will be available to all undergraduate students who are now enrolled at UM and will not be graduating this May are eligible to register for next fall. The student should first see his or her advisors during the academic advising period scheduled for March 29 through April 9. Class schedules should be available in the reglstra-

tlon office in the Memorial Build ing, room 111 on or before March 29.
The student will need to pick up an appointment slip at the registration office which will tell the date, time, and place to register. On the scheduled day, the student will pick up and fill out the registration kit and confirmation card at the Student Union.
With the information obtained, the student would then be able to begin registration on the second floor of the Union.
Bursar personnel will be stationed on the first floor of the Union where course coupons and all registration cards can be brought for checking and pricing. The student will be given a copy of the tul-tlon/fee statement with charges for tuition and fees, and a letter of in-
structions
The confirmation card which the student receives is a self-addressed, postage paid card which must be returned on or before July 12 in order to confirm that he/she will be returning in the fall.
A final fee statement will be given by July 15 to all who participated in the April registration In this statement, the student's financial obligation will be listed In addition, a cover letter will be sent with the confirmation card if the student has not already returned the card that he/she received in April at registration It will say that if the Bursar doesn’t receive the payment due or the confirmation card saying the student plans to return to the university, on or before July 12, his/her registration will be cancelled. Students will, however,
still receive a permit stating the day, time and place to register in August.
Those students who return a confirmation card vc ill be scheduled to return August 21 on a special payment day to pay . or make arrangements to pay. their tuition fees.
If a student is dismissed from the university, his/her April registration will be cancelled If a student wishes to cancel his her registration. the Registrar must be notified in writing
“We're going to have a tough Fall." said Robert Fuerst. director of Academic Services. "The economy is not good and we want as many students back as possible
"This is an academic registration. Right now- we're concerned with getting the students in the classroom."

This semester ODK is focusing its attention and leadership within the Miami community by attending civic meetings, city development meetings and any items of general concern to Metropolitan Dade County
President Kip Sullivan felt that Miami has recently had its fair share of negative publicity, so what could he more beneficial than having the University student leaders learn about how' the community deals w ith their own problems? The general interaction would strongly be reflected upon the college campus It is DDK's way of having each ODK member grow as an individual while showing Miami what the student leaders of this campus can
