Winter NSO Student Registration

Winter New Students Orientation and Transfer Student Registration sessions are one day programs offered to students entering for the spring 2013 semester. During your session you will take care of the business of becoming a member of the UMass Amherst community including: learning about university academic requirements, taking placement tests, meeting with an academic advisor, registering for your spring classes, getting your UCard (student ID), and touring your new campus.
