Midterms are almost here!

Hey, UMassD students!

Can you believe that it’s already almost midterms? This semester is flying by! If you haven’t made your intake appointment yet, do so as soon as possible. You will need to self-disclose to us by calling to make an intake appointment with one of the directors – 508.999.8711. You can email documentation to access_success@umassd.edu or fax (508-910-6691). That way you can have your accommodations all set for the rest of the semester and for your midterm exams. 

If you find you’re having trouble keeping up with your schedule or feeling overwhelmed, consider making an appointment with our graduate assistant, Kerry. They help registered students with time management, scheduling, and assignment chunking and all things that can help at this time of the school year.
