- All students should have received
information with which they can access SPIRE, the University’s
student information system. They are all strongly encouraged to
verify that their IDs and passwords work. If you have not yet been
able to access SPIRE, contact the OIT Help Desk at 413-545-9400 or
at help@oit.umass.edu.
- All students should verify through
SPIRE that their academic records have been accurately translated
into the University’s new student information system. If you
detect problems with your academic records, contact the Office of
the Undergraduate Registrar at 413-545-0555.
- All students should have received
information about their "enrollment appointment," i.e.,
the times and dates when they are allowed to pre-register for Spring
2003 classes, by the end of this week. If you have not received
yours, contact the Office of the Undergraduate Registrar at
413-545-0555 no later than the middle of next week.
- Pre-registration for Spring 2003
begins on 14 November 2002, and is accessible only through SPIRE.
The University’s Class Schedule is now available through SPIRE.
Since you will now receive instant confirmation of enrollment, those
who pre-register early are most likely to obtain their preferred
classes. If you pre-register late in your "enrollment
appointment" or wait until add/drop in January 2003, you should
not expect to be admitted to your preferred classes. IF YOU ARE IN
THE CLASS OF 2003, AND YOU DO NOT PREREGISTER FOR CLASSES DURING
YOUR ASSIGNED PERIOD, YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO GRADUATE IN MAY 2003.
DO NOT WAIT FOR ADD/DROP IN JANUARY TO REQUEST YOUR COURSES. THE
ONLY PRIORITY AVAILABLE TO SENIORS IN COURSE ENROLLMENT NOW IS TO
PRE-REGISTER EARLY.
- Before 14 November 2002 all students
should check their "service indicators," i.e., barriers to
pre-registration and enrollment at SPIRE. If you have a service
indicator blocking your enrollment until you have consulted with an
advisor in the Economics Department, you should meet with one of our
advisors in the very near future.
