Registration Updates

Winter & Spring 2026 Registration Updates

This page will list updates affecting registration in CICS, COMPSCI, and INFO courses.

11/12/2025: We are aware that some sections of our Spring 2026 courses are not live for enrollment but we are working with the Registrar's Office to fix these problems. 

If you are unable to enroll yourself in a class, please make sure to 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); do not email instructors, as they cannot assist you with registration issues. Students needing special permission or who are still having unexpected issues enrolling can submit an override request via the Override Request Form.
