Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an education contract course and an open enrollment course?
An education contract course has a special financial arrangement with a school or sponsoring organization at a reduced per credit rate. Enrollment in contract courses is approved by the sponsoring school or organization and is not open to all students.

An open enrollment course charges full tuition and is open to any student who meets any required prerequisites.

If you registered for a contract course, you will receive an email confirmation of your registration once it has been processed. The confirmation will be sent to the email address you provide.

I am enrolled in a course. For personal reasons I have to drop the course. What should I do?
Please check the Academic Calendars at registrar's page. If you are within the add/drop period, you may drop the course on this page by accessing Student SIS Access. If you have passed this period, please contact Susie McFeeters by email or (802)656-0629.

How do I obtain a UVM transcript?
An unofficial transcript can be printed from registrar's page. A form to request an official transcript can be found at registrar's page.

Why should I activate my UVM email account when I already have an email account established with my school or home?
UVM creates an email account (Net ID) for all students. You can activate your account at this webpage. It’s important that you activate your account since this is the ONLY email address that UVM will use to communicate with you about course changes, class cancellations and other pertinent information about your course. You will also need this account to access online library resources including electronic course reserves. When you activate your account, you can set up your email messages (sent to your UVM email address) to be forwarded to your school or home email address.

Why do I need to get a UVM CATcard (ID)?
Your CATcard is your permanent ID and will be required to check out library materials. It will be reactivated automatically each semester you enroll in a course. To obtain a CATcard, go to the CATcard Service Center in the University Store Building, Monday-Thursday, 9 am-5 pm, Friday, 9am-4pm. If you are unable to come to campus and you need assistance obtaining a CATcard, email Continuing Education by using email or call (800)639-3210.

I have a comment/suggestion to make about the course and/or instructor. How do I do this in a discrete manner?
At the end of the course, you need to complete the evaluation form distributed by the instructor. If you prefer, you may contact Ellen Morris, by email, curriculum planner, or Susie McFeeters, email, Advisor for any concerns you may have.
