Please check Approvals/Holds on the Student Menu of TheHub for your date and time to begin registering and for the "ADV" code indicating advisor approval. If you have any holds, you may register, but you must clear them by the end of the first week of registration or you will be dropped from your classes.

The course limit for January term is one course per student (co-curricular courses are not included in the limit).

For the first seven days of January preregistration, you will be limited to either enrolling in or waitlisting a single course. After that, you will be able to add, drop, and enroll from waitlists until you have finalized your registration of one course by the January add/drop deadline.

Please be aware that even if you change your mind about returning for January term, you must use TheHub to drop your course during the registration period. 

If you are on the waitlist for a course, you will be notified by email when a space becomes available. You must register yourself on TheHub within 24 hours of the time the email was sent to avoid being dropped from the waitlist. The waitlist notification system runs during all registration periods.

January term courses with low enrollments will be cancelled. You will be notified of any cancellations via email in time to have an opportunity to select a different course.

Division I Students: Academic courses with a school designation (not co-curricular courses) can satisfy first-year course requirements, including distribution requirements  marked as "satisfies distribution" on TheHub.

When registering for a January term class and making your travel plans to return to campus, note that University of Massachusetts spring classes begin BEFORE the end of January term.

FIVE COLLEGE JANUARY TERM COURSES

You may request January term courses at Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges through the Five College request system only during the first week of registration.

• During this first week, for courses designated as "Instructor Permission", you must print a form when you request the course, get it signed by the instructor, and bring it to Central Records. We cannot process your request without this form.
• If you request a course at Smith or Mount Holyoke after January term classes begin, you must print a request form for any course, get it signed by the instructor and bring it to Central Records. We cannot process your request without this form.

Students may be able to participate in Amherst College's January term offerings, but cannot register for these activities.

University of Massachusetts Winter term classes are offered for a fee through the Division of Continuing and Professional Education and are not part of the Five College interchange. Please note that the University of Massachusetts Winter term runs from December 21 through January 16. Hampshire residences are closed for part of that time period.
