A one-credit program for first-year students entering UMass Amherst

Learn the skills that lead to success in college, move in to your dorm early, and earn 1 credit!

Like most entering students, you may have many questions and concerns about your future college experience, such as: How can I succeed academically? How can I become involved on campus? What major should I choose? How can I meet people and make friends? What are the resources that UMass offers? How do I find the information about campus that I need?

How Power Up Works:

• You will come to campus three days before fall orientation and settle into your residence hall room ahead of the move-in rush.
• During the two-and-a-half day Power Up course you will become familiar with UMass and learn strategies and skills that will give you a leg up on your college experience.
• Because Power Up classes are small (no larger than 22 students), you'll have a network of friends even before classes start.
• After the Power Up program, you will seamlessly transition into the fall first-year student orientation, with one credit already earned toward graduation and with the knowledge and confidence to maximize your success at UMass.
