Registration Updates
This page will list updates affecting registration in CICS, COMPSCI, and INFO courses such as eligibility or prerequisite changes, saved seats, or course availability.
If you are unable to enroll yourself in a class, first read the error message and the class notes on SPIRE. If you have questions, email your advisor or overrides [at] cs [dot] umass [dot] edu (overrides[at]cs[dot]umass[dot]edu) but don't email instructors, as they cannot assist you with registration. Students needing special permission or who are still having unexpected issues enrolling can submit an override request via the Override Request Form.
