Please note that although there is a field for Social Security Number, you do NOT need a Social Security Number to apply – just leave that field blank.You will receive an email with your NetID and password (this may take up to 3 days.)

2.  Get an enrollment appointment. Once you have received your NetID and password, activate your account and log in to SPIRE (spire.umass.edu) with your new NetID and password.

·    Go to Main Menu > Enrollment > Summer/Wntr/Non-degr Enroll Appt and follow the instructions.

·    (NOTE: It can take 1-2 days for SPIRE to recognize your NetID, so if you do not see these screens, try again the next day.)

3.  Register for the class. The enrollment appointment should be available immediately.

·    Go to Main Menu > Enrollment > Add Classes.

·    Search for the class (ex, EDUC 690P). If you are a current student enrolled in a UMass Amherst degree program, select the University section. If you are a non-degree Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) student, select the CPE section.
