The Basics

 

Before the semester begins, you have some errands to take care of:

 

Once you have completed your Human Resources paperwork, HR will give you a form to take to UMass Pass for your identification card.  UMass Pass is located in the bottom floor of the campus center near the bookstore.  If you can get there during July and early August, you will avoid the rush of the September when students are also getting their passes. 

 

After obtaining your UMass Pass, you can then go to the library and arrange for your library number so you can use the library services online from home and borrow books.  At the same time, if you think you are going to use the Brown University library located in Providence or other libraries that are part of the library consortium we belong to, you should request your consortium card. 

 

For parking, you first need to complete the online form (scroll down to new users), then go to the Police Station or UMass Pass office with your car registration information.  There, you will be provided with a parking sticker.  The sticker should be placed in your left side rear passenger window.  Faculty can park inside yellow lines (all of lots 1 and 17, as well as sections of other lots).

 

To facilitate your move into your new office, contact your chair and/or the departmental secretary. An office key will be ordered, which, when it's ready, you can pick up at the Facilities Office located on the ground level (basement) of Foster Administration Building.

 

To find your way around campus, take a virtual tour or print out a copy of our campus map.
