Deadlines Update

To make sure transfer students have the best onboarding experience possible, we have shifted our priority deadlines and the deadline to defer to a future semester. Our applicant deadline for the spring is December 12 and July 25 for the fall. Deferrals must be completed two weeks before the start of the semester (August 15 or January 1).

Helping You Help Your Students

  • Our newly updated program pages are the best way for students to explore the majors they're interested in (including a new page for a Pre-Law pathway).
  • Have students who want to learn what they can do with a UML degree? Check out where our most recent grads have landed!
  • Encourage your students to join our ZeeMee community. By downloading the app, they can connect with current students and staff at UMass Lowell, learn more about the university and meet other students interested in UML.

A Note about the New Pre-Nursing Concentration

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Public Health has a new concentration called Pre-Nursing. This concentration will prepare students for entry-level public health positions and allow them to gain prerequisites for accelerated nursing or other nursing programs (outside of UMass Lowell) or graduate studies in public health, such as a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.). Please note, the Pre-Nursing concentration in Public Health is not a pathway to the B.S. in Nursing at UMass Lowell. The only way to gain admission to the B.S. in Nursing here is through first-year admission—our nursing program does not accept transfers within UMass Lowell and other institutions.
