International Student Application Deadlines

International applicants are advised to start the application process no fewer than 12 months in advance of the expected date of enrollment.

The application fee is $60 for all applicants. Your application will not be processed until your application fee has been paid or your fee waiver request has been received.

If you are sending in a paper application, you may pay by check. Please include the applicant's name on the check. Make checks checks payable to University of Massachusetts Lowell and mail to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Fee Waiver

Students who wish to apply for an application fee waiver must meet the same criteria as those used for the College Board fee waiver. Guidance counselors must submit a written request for a waiver, or a copy of the College Board waiver request, on behalf of any student.

Waiver requests should be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
