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.
The fall semester is underway as UMass Amherst continues to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with a limited number of students living on campus and the majority of classes taking place remotely. For more information about Fall 2020 both on and off campus, go to umass.edu/reopening.
