What to Expect on Your Campus Tour

Campus Tours are led around by student Tour Guides who will discuss what it is like to be a student at UMass Lowell, while highlighting general academic and student life aspects of campus. As many residence halls, classrooms, labs and studios are access-only, student Tour Guides will show pre-determined areas to visitors. After your tour, if you are interested in more in-depth looks at major-specific amenities, please contact the appropriate department.
Tours last approximately an hour to an hour and a half. There is a significant amount of walking on every tour with large portions occurring outdoors. Tours run rain or shine, so please plan accordingly. In the event the university is closed, tours will be cancelled for the day. If ADA accommodations are needed, please contact umltours@uml.edu as soon as possible.

Parking & Check In Locations

As we are an urban campus spanning across the city of Lowell, we have specific parking and starting locations for each tour. Your Parking Pass and Check In Pass will be sent to the email address you registered with prior to your tour. Review parking locations on the campus map. (PDF Version)
