Rolling Admissions

We know that deciding next steps and choosing where to go to college is a big decision your students face. That's why, for students applying for fall 2026, we've shifted to rolling admissions for all our majors (except nursing). We understand the choice your students are faced with and want them to know it's OK if they need a little more time to apply.

Math Prep for Calculus 1

Your students' academic success is our top priority, and we want their transition to college-level coursework to be as smooth as possible, particularly in their required math courses. As you advise your students on their course selection for the upcoming year, Pre-Calculus and Calculus high school courses will provide a strong foundation for students who are considering taking Calculus 1 at UMass Lowell. We are eager to support you as you work with your students to help them transition to college courses. Please reach out if you have any questions about course requirements.

Updated Virtual Tour

A few months ago, we asked faculty, staff and students to share their favorite spots across campus, and then we spent time filming the locations to add to our virtual tour. What we ended up with is a real labor of love, and we're excited to present these updates to you and your students. You'll find the best places to study, socialize and relax across campus. Check it out for yourself and share the link with your students!
