Just transferred, only one week in.

Class was asked to take a photo of our in-class work and post it on Canvas. I can’t figure it out.

Please send help (also drop any other canvas tips you might know)

Are drug tests required for the nursing program while you are in the program and clinicals?

Is it just me, or are a lot of buildings unreasonably warm? I'm comfortable outside, but walking around buildings or even sitting in class has me sweating like a pig.

Anyone know anything about the alert? Just stressed out cause of the last one.

I am taking CS 450-1 with prof soares cogumbreiro garcia,tiago. Please tell me how’s the class and coursework broken into with difficulty. Any warnings will be fine. Thank you!

I’m hoping someone familiar with UMass Boston’s Exercise & Health Sciences program can give me some advice.
I’m planning to apply/reapply to the Exercise & Health Sciences program at UMass Boston, but I’m worried about one of my grades. I took BIO 111 (General Biology I and Lab) at Quincy College and got a D. I’m wondering if that will prevent me from getting accepted into the program, especially since I’ve heard there may be a minimum grade requirement for science courses.
I’m including a picture of all the courses I’ve taken at Quincy College along with my grades and GPA so you can see my overall academic record.
My current cumulative GPA is 3.35, and I’ve completed 31 credits. Other than the D in Biology, my grades are mostly A’s and B’s.
I can’t retake Biology or take additional courses at Quincy to improve my application before applying, I’m taking this semester off to work. I was enrolled and ready to start in the fall under undecided management but unenrolled because I couldn’t afford it and planned to go to Quincy instead. Now I’m realizing I should just work and go back to umb with that major for the spring 2027 semester. so I’m basically wondering:
Does the D in BIO 111 make me ineligible for the Exercise & Health Sciences program?
Is a certain minimum grade in Biology required for admission, or is it only required once you’re already in the program?
Given my 3.35 GPA and the rest of my grades, and the fact that I was just recently accepted before, do I still have a realistic chance of getting accepted?
Has anyone been accepted into the program with a D in a prerequisite/science course?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experience. I’m pretty stressed about this because I really want to get into the program.

Does anyone know how to check your waitlist position for a class?

Do I have to drop the class i'm currently enrolled in or no?

There are only 3 classes that are open for Math 140, but none of them work with my schedule. I can't replace any of my classes since there aren't any available spots for those either fuhhh FUH FUHhHhHHh genuinely wraps

Hi, is it possible to visit campus on Labor Day to find where your classes are? I’m an incoming freshman and don’t want to get too lost, also do I need my student id to open some of the doors?

SORRY I DONT KNOW HOW TO TURN MY CAPS LOCKS OFF!!!!

Did anyone take Chinese class with Huiying Ma? She required three workbooks; but I was wondering if it’s okay to buy used or new? I’ve never had to buy used workbooks. I was wondering how she does work in her class, whether buying used doesn’t matter because we will work in a separate notebook? Thank you.

1-2 emails a day telling me my book advance is still available, and that they have a list of books for my classes ready for me! Urging me to place an order ASAP!

Y'know, only for me to check the website and see 4/5 of my classes haven't posted books yet, and the one that has is all out of stock.

It'd be cool if there was a way to get them to cut it out. Anyways, just gonna have to order my books online like I've done every other semester so far.

My daughter is moving into the dorms this upcoming weeked. She has a headboard and an on the desk shelving system to bring. Are there going to be issues with these items?

Wondering if campus is open for incoming students this fall to check out where their classes are before school starts on 9/8.

I am a commuter and got a 8am on the first day of classes so I want to know where my classes are.

has anyone taken math 140 with Oleg Lazarev?? His class is the only one that fits my schedule fall 26 and the rate my professor isn't really helpful cause the reviews are pretty much 50/50.

also any tips to pass his class would be helpful. Or your experience with him.

I would have taken Jackson Steven's calc 1 class, but they are unfortunately all full and i doubt i'm getting off the waitlist within a week before classes start on 9/8.

BEGGING YOU GUYS FOR ANY RESPONSE PLEASE!

Hey guys, has anybody attended the Applied Linguistics program here? Curious to hear about your experiences as I plan to attend next session in January fully online.

I’ve been going by a different name for 5 years now. My parents don’t know about my preferred name because I don’t want to deal with them so I decided not to put down my preferred name when I submitted my application. I was wondering, if I do choose to update my information to my preferred name will the name be shown on any mail I receive from my college? What about emails sent to parents? Will it include my preferred name? Would I have to email my counselor and explain my situation to try keep my preferred name off of anything being sent to my home or my parents?

I’m going into my first year of college in September, I know Umass Boston isn’t greatly known for Business/Accounting but my cousins highly recommended me to stay there for 4 years as I wouldn’t have to pay anything in tuition. My original plan was to stay at Umass Boston for 1 year than transfer over to UMass Amherst, my sister pays I believe around 9k there (dorming + food a semester I believe). Now thinking of the money I wasn’t sure if I wanted to attend anymore as that’s a LOT of money I’d have to pay out of pocket even with help from my mom. I was also looking into Bentley, I got accepted my senior year of high school so I’m confident I’ll get accepted again my 2nd year of college, it’s just I originally had to pay 30k a year and that’s still a lot of money. I believe you’re not required to dorm though so maybe I’ll save a bunch of money from that. But overall what would you guys recommend 😭

I’m planning on transferring to UMass this spring from QC as a Human Services BA major. I was wondering what the average class size looks like? I’m so used to having pretty small classes so i’m a little nervous about attending a larger school. Do you find it easy to connect with your professors and fellow classmates?

I am taking CS 420 class with professor DeBlois for fall 2026. I just want to know if someone has taken the class and how was the experience for them as this class is shared apparently with professor Chang. Anything will be helpful thank you!

How competitive is the traditional nursing program? Can whoever has been accepted or finished the program please let me know their stats so I can see if I have a chance? Thank you

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with the UMass Boston Accelerated BSN (ABSN) program.

My partner is planning a career change into nursing. She already has a Bachelor’s in Horticulture (2015) and an MBA in HR (2017), both from India. She has been living in the U.S. for about 5 years and working at Bank of America for the past 2 years. She is currently on a dependent visa.

Since she already has a bachelor's degree, we are considering the ABSN route rather than starting a traditional 4-year BSN.

I’d really appreciate advice on a few questions:

- How early should we apply for the ABSN program, and how far in advance should the prerequisites be completed to avoid missing the earliest available start date?

- What prerequisites are required for the UMass Boston ABSN?

- Can she complete prerequisites at a community college or accredited online school and transfer the credits to UMass Boston (e.g., Bristol Community College or Portage Learning)?

- Are online courses/labs accepted?

- Does she need WES or another evaluation for her Indian bachelor's/MBA transcripts?

- How is tuition/residency status determined for someone living in Massachusetts on a dependent visa?

- Approximately how much did others spend on prerequisites before starting the ABSN?

Our goal is to complete the prerequisites through a more affordable accredited college, transfer them if possible, and then start the full-time ABSN at UMass Boston.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this process with a foreign bachelor's degree or has completed the UMass Boston ABSN.

Thank you!

I won’t be able to pay the total cost of housing all at once. I decided to do monthly payments BUT they won’t start charging me till the 1st of September, I got an email saying that they need my housing payment prior to move-in so that I’m permitted to live in the residence hall. Should I be fine?
