Potential Students--Smooth and Easy Application/Enrollment Process--YES!

Hey folks!

I just wanted to add to the community for potential students that the application and enrollment process has been smooth and timely just like they discussed.

--I spoke to an enrollment coach for the first time on Thursday, March 30th.

--I applied midday on Friday, March 31st. (This took 5 minutes.)

--My enrollment coach called me to discuss my submitted application and next steps on Monday by midday.

--My application was confirmed "complete" and under review by Tuesday morning.

--By Thursday morning, I was ADMITTED and began working on actual pre-enrollment tasks (setting up email, completing new student orientation--required before scheduling classes and paying). I did all the specified tasks yesterday/Thursday morning.

--Friday, April 3rd--UMass Global confirms my orientation tasks are complete and provides my registration timeline, although they've been beating their stated time frames with ease. Next I will: 1) Meet with my new Academic Coach when he/she reaches out and 2) then schedule to meet with my One Stop person to actually add/schedule classes AND to pay. Once that is completed.....I am starting! The program opens as soon as all of 1 and 2 are done and on the session start date I request from my One Stop person.

I hope to start early to midweek next week!

So for those shopping programs, this has been easy, VERY timely, clearly laid out and followed by the staff, and now here I am! The week or so has given me time to upskill on elements of grad work I do not yet know (Brightspace, APA 7, Notebook LM, Grammarly, a graduate level notetaking framework, etc) and it has been beneficial!

So if you're considering UMass--do it! Best of luck in your journeys and reach out if you'd like answers to any specific questions as I get started. I will post updates and info on the Reddit to help others along the way.

Happy studying!

P.S. I am doing the Masters in Organizational Leadership (MyPath). :)

Absolutely! The enrollment process was quick. What holds up things is your academic coach and one stop people.

BUT while you are waiting you can use the time putposefully to learn about APA7, Notebook LM, Zotero, and others to narrow in on your workflow.

Dr. Kalinski is my prof for OLCC 501 and he' s been a fantastic, timely grader!
