Information Regarding Academic Advising and Course Registration for Spring 2010
http://www.ecs.umass.edu/registration
What is Registration?
Registration is your opportunity to plan your courses for next semester, meet with your advisor, and then register for classes. Because the engineering curriculum is structured, and courses are not offered every semester, it is extremely important to meet with your advisor during the registration period to discuss your progress. After meeting with your advisor to select courses, register for them using SPIRE during your assigned enrollment appointment time.
Where do I pick up my Registration materials?
Please pick up registration materials (Course Selection Form and Curriculum Worksheet) in the Office of Student Affairs, 126 Marston Hall or from departmental offices. Departmental office locations are:
- Chemical Engineering – (outside of) 158F Goessmann
- Civil Engineering – 226 Marston Hall
- Electrical & Computer Systems – 8A Marcus Hall
- Mechanical & Industrial – (outside of) 208F ELab
In addition to completing the Course Selection Form and Curriculum Flowchart (also available online) print a copy of your academic requirements report (formerly called degree progress report or degree audit) from SPIRE and bring it to your advising meeting. Please pick up and complete all materials before meeting with advisors.
Who is my Advisor?
The Advisor assigned to you is posted in your SPIRE account. If you do not have an advisor, check in the Office of Student Affairs, Marston 126.
What if I miss Advising?
It is extremely important to follow the advising procedures set up in your department since Registration Access Codes (RAC) will no longer be used. Instead, if you do not attend your designated advising session, a HOLD will be placed on your SPIRE account. You will be unable to register for classes and/or make changes to your schedule, until the HOLD is lifted. HOLDs will be lifted at the time and discretion of your departmental Chief Undergraduate Advisor.
When is Registration?
Dates and procedures differ in each engineering Department. See your major’s (or your intended major if Pre-Engin) department-specific Registration web pages for dates on when and how meetings and advising will occur and how to schedule an appointment.
