UMass Amherst has selected Asana as its official project management platform and acquired an enterprise license for the campus.

• Campus community members who require Asana for university work must request an individual license costing $243 per year, before Monday, June 2.

• Campus community members who created an Asana account using their UMass Amherst email address and wish to continue using free Asana for personal use must create a new account using a non-UMass email address.

• See instructions below about how to transfer and import data between Asana accounts.

Transfer Data Between Asana Accounts 

If you currently use a free Asana account which was created with a UMass Amherst email address, you can continue using free Asana for non-UMass by creating a new account with a non-UMass email address and transferring your data.
