What is University+?

University+, Univ+, or U+ is a designation in SPIRE for classes that were previously labeled as UWW or CPE. Courses in the U+ session are primarily online, flexible, and part-time (with some exceptions where indicated).

The University+ Session is administered by the Flexible Education Division of UMass Amherst.
