Orientation

Welcome to Orientation!

The Freshman Orientation and Transfer Registration programs are a unique opportunity for students joining the UMass Lowell community. These programs provide new students with the opportunity to learn about student life, meet fellow new and current students, get an in-depth look at campus, meet with an advisor and sign up for classes.

We are excited for you to join us and welcome you to the UMass Lowell family!
