UMass Boston

UMass Boston utilizes Maxient software to manage various pieces of students' records. Through Maxient, we are able to use its centralized reporting and recordkeeping features to help our community connect important information to prevent students from falling through the cracks. From issues involving discrimination, care and concern referrals, student discipline, the Student Referral Program (SRP), U-ACCESS, and general concerns for the Dean of Students Office, Maxient is critical to all things related to a student's conduct and well-being.

Please be aware that these forms are not to be used during an emergency. If this is an emergency, please call 911.

Additionally, the filing of a report does not constitute filing an official police report. To file an official police report, contact the UMass Boston Police Department (617.287.7780) or in person on the first floor of the Quinn Administration Building.
