Information Specific to the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures

How will I finish this semester's classes?

Instructors will be in touch with their students via UMass email with information about how their specific courses will be conducted and with updated syllabi. Students should contact their instructors with any questions.
International students who must remain on campus because of extenuating circumstances will also receive on-line instructions and will be subject to the same restrictions as all other students.
