Using SELFREG
<table><td>[[Image:SELFREG.jpg|left]]The DROP/ADD screen on old SELFREG, as viewed on a Mac OS 8.6. This student has encountered the rare problem of having dropped and added so many classes that he has used all 15 of the lines given for input, and has received the error message at the top of the window.</table>
Because no one can use SELFREG anymore, no matter how much we want to take that stroll along the white-on-black Unix memory lane, this section is mainly here for nostalgia. Unfortunately, the [http://www.williams.edu/registrar/ Registrar's homepage] is updated more diligently than many other departments', and all the documentation for old SELFREG seems to have been removed, though the acronym remains. The fact that the site is the top [http://www.google.com/search?q=SELFREG Google hit for SELFREG] gives a clue as to how much later Williams was than peer users in abandoning the old program.
In the old SELFREG, you would have to input your ID number (for American students, your Social Security number) and a password to enter the system. You could enter at any time, but you could only perform class drop and add requests during an "enrollment appointment," which occurred during pre-registration periods and during the first two weeks of each semester, known as the [[drop/add period]].
