Here at Cal State Fullerton we have electronic registration (both via
touch-tone phone and the Internet). We can place advising holds on student
registration, and we can change class limits pretty much at will. We also
can release the advising hold from our department office.
The system has been in operation for a few years now, and seems to work
reasonably well. I can give you the name and email address of our Registrar
if you would like more detailed information about the particular system we
are using.

Subject: Electronic registration with advising holds?
All,
We are preparing for electronic registration here at Northern
Kentucky University. We are being told we cannot get advising holds
on the registration. Faculty are arguing for advising holds and that
this is an academic matter that should not be decided by non-academic
units. Currently, faculty sign registration forms. Our department is
very concerned about loosing this advising control.
We have heard conflicting arguments about other institutions. One
side says that others schools with electronic registration don't have
advising holds. The other side says all other schools with electronic
registration do have advising holds. Things get more complicated
since we are told some students will have advising holds here at NKU.
Does anyone have experience with electronic registration and advising
holds? Can you give specific institutions and details?
Thanks in advance.
Ray
