Because of the wintery weather that hit the region earlier this week and closed Ivy Tech Community College Northeast for three days, Ivy Tech announced that it is extending the registration period for spring 2014 classes. Now, students can register through Jan. 18 though classes begin Jan. 13, and instructors will help late-registering students get up to speed in classes.

The Northeast campus is extending its hours Saturday and next week to assist students. Registration hours at Ivy Tech Northeast are as follows:

• Until 3 p.m. Saturday
• From 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Jan. 17
• From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 18

“We want to get students in and registered for the classes they need. They shouldn’t be penalized for the bad weather we’ve had,” said Chris Cathcart, vice chancellor of Student Affairs. “By pushing back the registration dates, students will be sure to get the help they need to register in a timely manner.”

Those interested in learning more before coming to campus can visit IvyTech.edu or call 888-IVY-LINE 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.
