Dozens of UASD University students marched from the Central Library to the Aula Magna yesterday urging university officials to resolve the inefficiencies in the online registration process. Student Freedom Front (FELABEL) secretary Eduardo Gomez said that if officials don't resolve the problems by next Tuesday, the students would rally. Independent Student Liberation Movement (MIEL), Flavio Suero Student Front (FEFLAS) and the Dominican Youth Strength (FJD) all participated in the 35 minute march. Listin Diario reports that students that have had trouble registering for classes will get a 2-day extension. A spokesman for the university spokesmen said that unless there are further major problems with the new registration system, classes will begin on 4 February as scheduled. Diario Libre writes that up to the collapse of the online registration system, 40,000 students had registered of an estimated 72,000 students who started the process online, of a total of 180,000 students.
