First, make sure you know when your Enrollment Appointment begins. Like Jess & Matt told you earlier this week, this is the date & time that SPIRE will allow you to begin adding classes--it is not a scheduled appointment with an advisor. You can (and should) add classes to your Shopping Cart prior to this date--that way you can monitor your choices and keep track of space available as your Enrollment Appointment nears. You can find your Enrollment Appointment on your SPIRE homepage: from the menu on the left select "Enrollment" then "Enrollment Appointment."
Second, make sure you don't have any HOLDS on your account. Registration holds can be issued by any office on campus that needs you to do something with them before you're allowed to add classes for Spring 2011. Often these holds require you to gather or complete documentation, visit an office on campus, have an appointment, etc. It can take a few days (or more) to have such holds lifted, so start the process now!

Finally, November is a very busy time in most advising offices! Just because your Enrollment Appointment may not be until the end of the month doesn't mean you can't meet with an advisor before then. In fact, coming in early will be more beneficial by helping you prepare. Waiting until last minute to schedule a meeting may mean there are no appointment times available or cause you to have to delay having your questions answered until AFTER you've added classes. Be proactive and make an appointment prior to your enrollment appointment. If you're undeclared, call (413) 545-2191 to schedule a meeting with an advisor. If you have a declared major, contact the advisor or advising office listed on your SPIRE homepage. Once you have a scheduled meeting with an advisor, print, complete, and bring this form with you to your appointment!
