Increase in freshman, transfer students expected
r--M - It . 1TV i
Fall enrollment at UNt will be increased, based on pre.
registration figures, said the UNI director of Ai
missions.
-It's all speculation.- said A) Papik. "We're assuming
that if we h3ve an increase in pre-registration, well have
an increase in enrollment."
A total of 19,166 students registered earlv, an increase
of 663 over last year, he said.
Anthony Schkade, assistant director of registration and
records, said he expects more than last year's 3.500 stu
dents to go through general registration this year.
Papik said new student applications are also on the rise,
but may not necessarily mean increased enrollment be
cause of "multiple applications" and the uncertainty of
federal aid.
"Students are applying to more than one institution
and closer to home, he said. "At UNL. we are anticipat
ing a slight increase in both freshman and transfer stu
dents." Freshman rre-reeistration increased 149 over last
year, transfer students are higher by 174.
Papik speculates that the increased numbers may be be
cause of a greater precentage of graduates attending
college. He also said that "the cost of education is such
that there may be a trend" toward attending public insti
tutions. "Some of the problems NU has experienced because of
increases have been insufficient classes for freshmen in
business, engineering and freshman English," Papik said.
Harry Allen, director of institutional research and plan
ning, predicts that enrollment will decrease within the
next few years because of a declining number of high
school graduates.
"1 suspect it will decrease within the next few years,"
said Papik. He expects to see a decrease in first-time fresh
men in the fall of 1982.
Students can register from 8 ajn. to 11 ajn. and 1 p jn.
to 4 pjn. Late registrations will be accepted Aug. 24.
Drop-add begins Tuesday.
General registration begins today and ends Friday.
After filling out a worksheet and obtaining permit, fee,
and time appointment cards at Administration Building
103, students wishing to register should go to the Nebras
ka Union Second Floor at their appointment time. Stu
dents can make either a deposit or pay full tuition at that
time.
Temporary identification cards will be issued at general
registration. Permanent IDs will be mailed to local
addresses after Aug. 31, Schkade said.
Part time students who want to change to full-time
status can have their IDs updated at drop-add by present
ing the pink copy of their drop-add transaction, he said.
