Required Documents:
Proof of Health Insurance: Massachusetts State Law requires that all students attending the University have health insurance. The University is currently evaluating its process to apply/waive health insurance. For complete information, please check the Student Financial Services website.
Medical Records: Health Services needs complete records at the beginning of the spring semester. If you have not sent records earlier, bring them to Orientation. State law requires such records and failure to have them will block future registrations for classes.
Course Information: Bring as much information as possible concerning courses completed at prior institutions. These include copies of transcripts, grade reports from the most recent semester, course descriptions and syllabi and transfer evaluations from the UMass Lowell Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Remember, official transcripts must be sent directly to Admissions.
