Registration Blues
Bandi Mthembu
After being on holiday for almost
three months, most senior students
agree that being back on campus
is a great thing. For some, it’s seeing friends again whilst others agree
that Wi-Fi spots around campus are
an added perk. Whatever the reason, NWU Vaal senior students enjoy being back on campus. Unfortunately, coming back to campus is
only the beginning. Before one can
enjoy all that they loved and missed,
they need to go through registration.
Speaking to a few students we find
out how they found the registration
process this year.
Nokuthula Radebe, a 3rd year student studying Bcom Management
Accounting stated that she was very
happy with how fast the registration
process went for her. “ I felt that the
registration process was great because everything went by quick, I
only waited 30 minutes in Line to get
to step 1”, stated the 21 year old from
Heidelberg.
tral location where all the steps
should be, allowing students to
move from table to table, and
not building to building”, he
stated. He also said that the
online registration process
needs to be simplified, so
that those who have the resources to use it are able
to, without any problems.
After speaking to some
students, it became very apparent that registration process for this
year was a smooth one and showed
a great improve from the previous year. A lot of mixed
feelings emerged as
far as registration is
concerned, but one
thing everyone agreed on
is that the process for this
year was very efficient, and
we can definitely expect bigger and better things to come
in future.

We also spoke to Charles Baloyi,
a 3rd year student who was an official, helping make the process run
more smoothly. As a student, who
was now on the other side of the
fence, he had a difference of opinion
on the registration process, stating
that he still feels that the registration
process is a very tedious one and
needs much improvement. “Moving
between Building 24 and 25 is also
an issue. There needs to be a cen-
