As summer approaches, UMass Boston will be offering courses both in-person and online. We would like to take this opportunity to share details on summer registration and billing. There are changes that are being made to support UMass Boston’s number one priority of student success by providing clear deadlines and to support students in finalizing their plans for summer courses earlier in the cycle. These changes also aim to ensure that enrolled students are better informed about their financial obligation and remain on the road to the completion of their degree without incurring unnecessary debt.
These registration and billing changes involve Summer Session 1 (SS1) from May 28 to July 11, Summer Session 2 (SS2) from July 15 to August 22 and Summer Session 3 (SS3) from May 28 to August 22. Special programs in SP1 and SP2 sessions are not included in these changes at this time.
New changes for Summer 2024 are:
New Registration Deadline
- May 10: New registration deadline for SS1 and SS3 sessions (most courses). Students are encouraged to register for SS2 at this time as well in order to get a complete financial aid award and accurate bill.
- June 3 – June 26: Additional time to register for SS2.
Financial Aid Awards
- Week of May 13: Financial Aid will be made available to students based on all enrollment completed by May 10.
New Payment Deadlines
- May 23: New payment deadline for all courses registered by May 10.
- June 30: New payment deadline for June SS2 registrations.
New Payment Plan
- A two-month payment plan is available for all courses registered by May 10.
- The summer payment plan requires that 50% of the amount for all sessions is due on May 23 and the remaining 50% is due by June 30.
- For June registrations, payment is due on June 30.
- More information on payment plans can be found on the campus website at Plan to Pay - UMass Boston (umb.edu).
New Payment Drop
- May 31: Date for dropping students without a plan to pay by the May 23 due date from their summer session 1 courses.
Some courses scheduled in the SS3, SP1 and SP2 sessions have different start and end dates. For such classes, please check class details and your schedule for the actual meeting dates. Drop dates will vary for non-standard classes that begin AFTER the session start date. For information about and assistance with any of these classes, please email the Registrar’s Office at registrar@umb.edu.
Registration information for students who need to take a summer course in order to improve their academic standing/performance will be available later this spring.
