Step 2 : Get Registered
Once you’ve been admitted, you will need to schedule a first-time appointment with your University of Massachusetts Global advisor and create an education plan. After that, you will need to complete the Master Payment Contract and register for courses.
1 —Check eligibility
Before you start the formal registration process, make sure you’re still eligible for your company’s education benefits. To do this, sign into your Guild account, then check your eligibility status in the upper right-hand corner. Contact Guild support to learn more about what eligibility means at your company.
2 — Schedule your first-time appointment
Schedule a first-time advising appointment with an academic advisor at University of Massachusetts Global to create an education plan. You will need to schedule your appointment one week after you have been accepted. If you’re unsure who your Academic Advisor is or is having trouble getting in touch with your assigned advisor, reach out to acadadvisorOL@umassglobal.edu.
3 — Register for classes
Once you’ve met with a University of Massachusetts Global advisor, set up some time with the University of Massachusetts Global One Stop office to register for classes. Your academic advisor will most likely help you schedule this appointment during your first-time appointment, but if you need to schedule or reschedule, contact One Stop directly at 800-775-0056 or email them at onestopol@umassglobal.edu.
4 — Finalize FAFSA
Then, you’ll need to finalize your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Make sure your financial aid application has the University of Massachusetts Global code, 041618. If you have any questions, please ask your One Stop Specialist during your registration appointment.
