Dual Enrollment at UMass Lowell means engaging with faculty and current students, an immersed learning environment, and chipping away at college credits - all while students are still in high school. This is an excellent opportunity for students seeking an academic challenge in preparation of enrolling in college.
Fill out the UMass Lowell Undergraduate Application. You will need to submit the application complete with your parent or guardian’s signature. We also require your high school counselor’s approval to enroll in a dual enrollment course and an official high school transcript.
You are not required to submit a new application if you have already completed dual enrollment courses at UMass Lowell in the past year. Instead, please fill out the Non-Degree Re-Enroll Form. If you were enrolled in UMass Lowell dual enrollment courses greater than one year ago, please complete the UMass Lowell Undergraduate Application for consideration as a dual enrollment student.
High school juniors and seniors who have a minimum GPA of 3.0. These students must also demonstrate the ability to benefit from college-level work and should be recommended by their high school principals, teachers, or high school counselors. The University of Massachusetts Lowell reserves the right to decline admittance to students on the basis of the student’s academic ability.
We encourage you to apply as soon as you know you would like to take a dual enrollment class. We will need to process your application and register you for classes before the start of a semester.
