Individualized Degree students: Please indicate on your Intent to Enroll form whether you will be attending an orientation session or e-mail uww@uww.umass.edu with that information. Obviously attending the orientation may be impossible for online students living far from the Amherst campus, but we encourage all students who can to attend one of the sessions. During part of the orientation, the faculty will introduce you to the UMass Online Vista learning environment so that you will find it easier to navigate once classes begin.
Parking: Free parking is available right outside the Venture Way building.
Continuing & Professional Education registration for fall 2008 begins on Ju;y 23. Information about course sections for the programs is linked to the main new students page. We encourage you to register as soon as possible once orientation begins to be assured of the class sections you prefer.
