To ensure a safe and successful transition into our residence halls, classrooms and laboratories, the week of Jan. 25 will be conducted remotely for all courses. Additionally, all employees who are able to work remotely should continue to do so until notified otherwise by their supervisors.

To help keep our community safe, the university will be expanding surveillance testing capacity for the spring semester.

Faculty, staff and students that require new access to buildings, labs, or rooms must now utilize the new online application located at www.uml.edu/AccessRequest.

UMass Lowell is working with Lowell General Hospital and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to temporarily convert the Campus Recreation Center into a field hospital during the winter break.
