UML Student Email Accounts
UMass Lowell has a robust email system that assigns UML email addresses to all students, including those enrolled in Continuing Studies courses. Additionally, the University has implemented a new policy that supports email as an official means of communication with students and assigns responsibility to the student 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.

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. 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.

Emergency Notification
Sign up for the UML Emergency Notification System (get notified in the event of a campus emergency or crisis) at: https://uml.ecoporte.com/emergency/jsp/home/home.jsp

Identification Card
Only matriculated CSCDE students may 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. Please refer to the Access Services Website at http://www.uml.edu/access-services/CSCE_Cards.html

Update on Graduate Course Withdrawal for Fall 2009 (posted on 11/13/09)
The last day to withdraw from a graduate class is Monday, December 7, 2009.
Please log onto your ISIS account and drop your class. Please note:  Because ISIS will be down from November 24th through December 2, 2009 (7am) you will not be able to withdraw from classes using ISIS. If you wish to withdraw from graduate classes during this time, you must submit a signed letter to the registrar's office. You may fax the letter to:
(978) 934-4076 or mail to: University of Massachusetts Lowell, Registrar's Office, 883 Broadway St.
Lowell, MA  01854. You may also come to the Registrar's Office in Dugan Hall 101 on South Campus.  The Registrar's Office will not be open November 26th or 27th. If you have any questions, please email: registrar@uml.edu or call (978) 934-2550.



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. 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.

First time students may request to be put on the waitlist by filling out the form located at: http://www.uml.edu/admin/registrar/docs/waitlist.pdf and faxing it to the number indicated.

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

Fall 2009 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.
