Planning & Attending Events

Planning Events/Workshops

All events held at the university must be conducted in a manner that allows for full participation for persons with disabilities. This includes meetings/events/workshops offered by students, faculty, and staff of the university, as well as by those using university space. Event planners must ensure that they have directed participants about the process to request accommodations for persons with hearing impairments, visual impairments, mobility impairments, or special dietary requirements.

If you are planning an event and want to reserve space on the UMass Boston campus, please click here.
