Some Texas State students are already making plans for the fall. John Spain
tells us about the university's registration process...in this Bobcat Update.

Thousands of current and prospective students are preparing for the fall
semester. The university is accepting applications from freshmen and transfer
students. Carlos Laird, Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, says the
method by which students are selected for registration is being restructured.
(Laird 0:15 "...is registration.")
The Coordinator of New Student Orientation, Victoria Black, says the
university's process for incoming students will also be improved. Black says
orientation is one of the primary concerns of the admissions office.
(Black 0:10 "...incoming students.")
Some transfer students will be given the option to do orientation online. This
will help eliminate the need to travel to San Marcos before the fall semester.
(Laird 0:10 "...orientation early.")
Laird says the university hopes its enrollment gains will continue
(Laird 0:10 "...time soon.")
New methods for streamlining registration may soon be in place to help students
navigate the process once they arrive on campus. For Bobcat Update, I'm John
Spain.
