15 February 2006 Online enrolment makes debut at Lincoln's 2006 Registration period

Registration for the new academic year started at Lincoln University on 15 February and runs through to the close of the late Registration period in early March.

Lincoln University’s new online enrolment and registration system was introduced in a "controlled" fashion at this year's Semester I Registration with only a small sample of returning undergraduate students being guided through it.

The University has introduced it in a "controlled release", processing just a small sample of students initially, to ensure that everything functions smoothly. The online system will be rolled out in full later this year.

"It's a new enrolment option that will be offered alongside the more traditional, person-to-person approach," says Project Manager Jeremy Cadillac of Lincoln University's Information Technology Services group.

"It will stand alongside the personal registration process as a choice for those who want to make use of it and do not want or need face-to-face assistance with their enrolment."

Lincoln University's Stewart Building has been a hive of activity as the headquarters of the University's 2006 enrolment and registration process. Here Rosemary Mather, a Team Leader in Lincoln University's Student Services Group, provides a student with assistance.

The University's Student Services Manager Deanna Riach described the opening day of registration as "pleasing".

She said she was impressed with the positive attitude of new and returning students eager to start the new semester.

"It is always lovely to have our campus flowing with students," said Deanna.
