Course Change Fee Waived
 |
|
Admissions Office: Natalie Bryndred, Roger Muller
|
Dartmouth undergraduates saved money and time as course changes were
processed using terminals on the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System. Under the old
manual system, students would have paid over $12,250 ($5.00 each for 2,450
course changes). Under the computerized system, the fee was waived and changes
were processed at a cost to the College of about five cents each.
