New students should use the mail, fax, or walk-in options to register. Once the new student registration has been processed by the Registrar’s Office, the student will receive an email to his/her personal email account (if provided) or receive a letter mailed to his/her home. The student should check http://isis.uml.edu and then click on the User ID lookup. You can also access the New Student Registration Form and Checklist and information on online course confirmation (if applicable) available at http://continuinged.uml.edu. After you have obtained your ID number, you can log into http://isis.uml.edu and view your schedule.

Get a head start and register early!
Undergraduate, Graduate and Continuing Studies students can register for classes using the ISIS Web-Based Self-Service system, or by mail, fax, and walk-in. Students are encouraged to use the ISIS Self-Service System whenever possible.

Although we cannot guarantee an opening in any class, your chances for being enrolled in the course of your choice are better when you register early. Please note that seats in laboratory courses are limited.

Please refer to the Registrar's Office for walk-in registration hours. Students are encouraged to use the ISIS, the Web-Based Self-Service System whenever possible.

Online Courses
Students registered for UMass Lowell's online courses must complete the "Get Your Online Course Username/Password" process, which is available on the online courses website - approximately two weeks prior to the start of classes. Please visit that page for additional information.

UML Student Email Accounts
A significant number of communications concerning the new Student Information System will be delivered to students via email. Information about the availability of class schedules, grade reports and financial awards that can be accessed using ISIS, the Web-Based Self-Service, will be sent to students via email.

To address this change in practice, UMass Lowell has implemented a new, robust email system and assigned UML email addresses to all students, including those enrolled in Continuing Studies courses. In addition, a new policy has been approved that supports email as an official means of communication and assigns responsibility to students for maintaining their UML email accounts.

Students should be using their UML accounts with the @student.uml.edu suffix to ensure they receive timely communications from the University. Please see http://email.uml.edu and check the student email link. New students will receive a letter from the Information Technology Office with their new UML email address.

Emergency Contact Information
Responding to increased concerns about security issues of all kinds on University campuses nationwide, we are initiating a process to require students to provide and/or verify Emergency Contact Information on a regular basis. This information will be used to contact designated individuals in the event of an emergency involving you as a student on campus. When you first log into ISIS for any reason this semester, you will notice an entry in Your Holds Summary indicating Emergency Contact Verification. This “Hold” will prevent all Registration/Add/Drop/Swap a Class activity until you take action to verify your Emergency Contact Information. You will be able to release this hold yourself through ISIS by clicking on the hold and following the instructions. We encourage you to be proactive and verify this information BEFORE you actually need to register for classes or use Add/Drop/Swap a Class functionality in ISIS. For assistance, a Help document has been posted on the ISIS website.

Identification Card
All Continuing Studies students who are using facilities on campus are required to obtain a photo ID card from the Access Services Office located in the UML South Dining Hall. The ID card is needed to access gated parking lots and labs. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Contact the Access Services Office at (978) 934-4211, email: Access_Services@uml.edu, if you have any questions.

New Students:
Please see the New Student Registration Form and Checklist. The checklist will facilitate the process to access your online courses.

Add/Drops can be processed in ISIS or in the Registrar's Office, UML South, Dugan Hall 104, 883 Broadway St. Lowell. Changes from credit to audit and audit to credit status are limited to this two-week period.

Wait Listing
You may now put yourself on a wait list through ISIS if the course you want is full. When you try to register for a closed course, the system will ask you if you want to be put on a wait list. The wait list function also allows you to list a course you would like to drop if you are allowed into the closed course.

If space becomes available in a course, the wait list function will add you into the class in the order of your request. Please note that you will not be notified if you are put into the closed course. You must check your schedule in ISIS to see if you are registered for the closed course.

If you no longer wish to register for a course you are wait listed for, you must remove yourself from the wait list through ISIS. If you do not remove yourself from the wait list, you run the risk of being registered for a course and will be responsible for the grade received as well as the tuition and fees incurred.

ISIS will not put students into courses that have a time conflict or in courses where prerequisites are enforced.

Adds/Drops can be processed in ISIS or in the Registrar's Office, Dugan Hall, Room 104, UML South. Changes from credit to audit status are also limited to this two-week period.

Withdrawal with "W" Notation
See the appropriate academic calendar for the last day to withdraw. Students withdrawing from any class can use ISIS. Verbal messages to faculty or staff do not constitute official notification.
