Parents and guardians are inherently connected to the university throughout a student’s education and beyond. CNS and UMass Amherst offer a large number of services and information for students, and parents and guardians are invited to become familiar with these resources while also striking a balance between supporting their student and hand-holding. Parents, guardians, and families are encouraged to participate in public campus events and enjoy the rich offerings of the UMass Amherst community.
UMass Amherst now provides free COVID-19 tests for local community members. Tests will be offered by appointment only at the Mullins Center. For more information, go to www.umass.edu/coronavirus/communitycovidtest.
UMass Amherst has announced its Spring 2021 operating plan, inviting additional students to return to campus to advance their studies. The plan prioritizes public health and safety, including expansion of the university’s successful COVID-19 testing program. For more information, go to www.umass.edu/spring.
