What is Good Neighbor Registration?

Good Neighbor Registration requests are now open for fall 2024 via this link: Google Forms

All registration requests must be approved by a member of Off Campus Student Life staff. For gatherings with an anticipated attendance under 75 people, follow the normal process of filling out the form and scheduling a first time registrant meeting (if applicable). For any gathering request with anticipated attendance over 75, you must additionally notify Off Campus Student Life at least a week in advance. Please email jmaspo@umass.edu to get the conversation started.

Our noise mitigation program, Good Neighbor Registration (GNR) is open to UMass students living in Amherst and Hadley. Registered addresses that are the subject of a noise complaint will receive a one time courtesy call from the police department in lieu of a police response. Should subsequent complaints come in, police will respond as usual. Officers can issue $300 citations for noise, so this program helps save you money and keep your neighbors happy!

If you have any questions, please contact us at ocsc@sacl.umass.edu

Please be advised that when there is a campus closure, including holidays and snow days, GNR meetings will not be available.
