When is umass boston spring break

And the public health metrics have not improved — in fact, they are moving in the wrong direction, with cases and positivity rates rising, particularly in Boston. As a result, I am writing to announce that the vast majority of coursework in the spring semester will remain remote.

About 2 percent of courses will take place fully or partially on campus. Primarily these will be nursing courses, lab-based science courses, and other courses requiring hands-on activity. In addition, the vast majority of work will remain remote during the spring semester. Only those activities deemed essential or time sensitive will occur on campus. The residence hall will remain open with reduced occupancy to maximize safety.

In particular, we will diligently enforce mask wearing, social distancing, good hygiene, and frequent cleaning and disinfection - all known to mitigate the spread of the virus. We know that operating remotely can take a toll on mental health. We are working on some changes in the spring semester to increase engagement and enhance the remote experience for our campus, including: We will continue to support faculty in improving remote teaching and learning, by providing resources, tools, and training through our Teach Fall and Teach Spring initiatives.

We will seek to address priority student needs by opening limited study space on campus for students seeking internet access or a quiet space to study; the criteria for allocating such limited study space will be forthcoming.
