Don’t bother waiting by your mailbox for a registration notice.

Registration appointments for the spring 2004 term will not be mailed out, according to Enrollment Services Director Sue Vaughn.

Students can instead get their appointment times online.

Vaughn said the budget crunch was the main reason for the change.

“We were spending over $10,000 a year mailing those letters,” she said, adding that it also will help save trees.

Students can find their appointments by going to the Kern Community College District Web site. From there, they must go through several screens before the registration time appears.

Vaughn said students can get their appointment times directly from Admissions and Records if they are frustrated by the online process. “They can come in or call us (at 395-4301) and we’ll tell them what it is,” she said.
