when registration is permitted any time during working hours, including certain evening hours, for a week or two prior to the start of the term, the adult -students will be able to come in at a time more convenient to them. The process is likely to be less hurried and more informal, and there will probably be less waiting. This system, however, involves the scheduling of more staff time for registration. The experience in institutions following this policy has been that about one half to be total enrollments take place in advance of the opening night (with plenty of urging in the literature to “enroll in advance, save time, and be sure of a place"). Most of the remaining enrollments occur during the first week but there are some stragglers as long as three weeks after the opening date.
