Step 3: UMass Pass

Be prepared for Orientation

Make sure you are up-to-date with requirements and assignments on the fall accepted student checklist or spring accepted student checklist.

Your third step in the orientation experience!

Submit your photo for your UMass Pass

Your UMass Pass is the one card you’ll need on campus. You'll use your UMass Pass to access buildings, use your meal plan, and load funds for use on campus. You must submit your photo to the UMass Pass Portal in order to participate if you select the two-day, overnight June Orientation option. This will be the key to your room for the overnight.

UMass Pass photo submission requirements and specifications.

Example photo: Photo must be from the top of shoulders to top of head with some blank space above the head, looking ahead, solid background, clear and in color, reproduces skin tones accurately, and is properly exposed with no shadows.
