UMass Lowell Transfer Credit Limit

We have formalized our policy on the maximum credit limit we accept for transfer applicants. We can accept up to 75 credits where students earned grades of a C- (1.700 on a 4.000 scale) or better. Reach out to us if you have any questions.

Transfer Advisor Lunches

Our Transfer Advisor Lunches are one way we support community college academic advisors. It's a great way to get all the information you need about UMass Lowell degree programs or departments so you can best guide your students. 

Along with lunch, we'll provide an overview on topics of your choosing: academic support services for transfer students, the Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) or specific program overviews.
