Please note

The information above applies to most courses offered at the UMass Boston campus. Additional courses and sections, most of them offered at off-campus locations, and at UMass Boston on Friday evenings and Saturdays, are administered by the university's Division of Corporate, Continuing, and Distance Education. They are like other UMass Boston courses and sections in terms of their substance, faculty, and relationship to degree requirements, but the registration procedures, charges, and dates for them differ. Please see the CCDE Web site for more information.
