Reserved Placement Program Update

We wanted to let you know that we have sunset the Reserved Placement Program. We know this transfer pathway to UMass Lowell was helpful to students looking to gain admission in the spring semester. However, just because the program is ending, doesn't mean you or your students will have any less support. We're eager to work with students to provide personalized advising and share all the programs we have in place to help them succeed at UMass Lowell. Please, don't hesitate to reach out to us if you or your students have questions.
