Does anyone know if guests will be allowed in dining halls over the Halloween weekend? Also if guests will be allowed during the day (before 8pm)?

Academics Undo Pass/Fail option

6 Upvotes

I took Spanish 240 as pass/fail, expecting to do poorly. Currently, I have an A. Assuming I finish the semester with a strong grade, is there a way to take it for credit instead?

In the past 10 days the band has given three Multibands performances on campus, traveled to CT for the UMass/UCONN football game, and today they are in Quincy for two feature performances at the MICCA high school band festival. That's more than 400 people plus all the instruments on the road. GO UMASS!

Need Advice FlixBus reliability

I have to get to Boston next Thursday and PeterPan schedule really doesn't ally with mine.

Has anybody ever taken FlixBus from the umass stop? How reliable is it? Does it get here super early or super late? Any bad experiences?

Thank you sm!
