UMass Lowell Rises to Top Research Classification

UMass Lowell is now listed as a Carnegie Research 1 (R1) university, a designation used to identify the nation's top research institutions based on their research activity. This is something only 7% of four-year universities in the entire nation can say about their commitment to research.

Transfer Registration Sessions for Admitted Students

Newly admitted transfer students who have completed their Intent to Enroll form in their admissions portal can now sign up for a transfer registration session. Please let your newly admitted UMass Lowell students know that they can reach out to us at 978-934-3931 or transfer@uml.edu if they have any questions about next steps.

Please note: Admitted transfer students can be enrolled in fall 2025 courses even if they are enrolled in spring or summer courses at their current college. Transfer advisors will have the student's information and will not enroll them in courses that they are currently taking.

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. 

Reach out to us to schedule a lunch!
