RAPs for Fall 2009 are now closed.

The specifics for joining a program for Fall 2010 will be posted in early spring 2010.

Basic procedures for joining a RAP/TAP program.

Part One - Prior to New Student Orientation (NSO):  Hold a spot.

  1. Pay deposit to UMass (deadline May 1)
  2. Sign up for an NSO summer session.
  3. Take on-line Math Placement Test.
  4. Beginning approx. May 18 you can log-on (NSO web site) and "hold spot" in specific RAP of choice.

Enrollment in a RAP will continue on a first come, first served basis until the end of Freshman NSO in mid July.

Part Two -

  1. When you are at NSO: Confirm your spot.
  2. Tell Academic Advisor which RAP you joined.
  3. Enroll in associated classes.
  4. Confirm housing assignment on Spire.

*** If you did not hold a spot prior to NSO, you may still join any RAP you are qualified for during NSO as long as there is space in the program.

In addition to holding a spot in a RAP, the NSO website has a wealth of important info that will help you transition to UMass.  Make sure to visit the site often so you'll be up-to-date on opportunities and requirements!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the office.
