SELFREG was the text-only Unix program on which [[registration]] and [[pre-registration]] for classes was conducted at Williams from a date currently unknown until Spring 2004, when [[classes|course]] enrollment functions were moved to [[PeopleSoft]].
By then, SELFREG was old, and one of only two text-only programs that Williams students at large were using (the other is the email program [[PINE]], and its popularity has decreased greatly as well). Most importantly from the point of view of the [[Office of for Information Technology]] and [[Registrar]], there was no longer any tech support for the aged SELFREG, so continuing to use SELFREG was an act of faith in something that no one really knew how to fix anymore. In recent history, SELFREG had never failed, but it was nevertheless decided that the switch to PeopleSoft would be the wisest course.
