Students who were previously accepted and enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at UMass Lowell who left the University before receiving their degree or who haven't registered for courses for more than four semesters will need to apply for readmission before they can register for courses. To apply for readmission to that same program, please complete and submit the Application for Readmission .pdf form along with the $60 re-admission fee. To apply into a different program, please complete and submit a new Online Application for Admission and reference your prior coursework at UML in your new application. Please note, if you are applying to a new program, you may need to have your transcripts from other institutions resent to UMass Lowell, as information on inactive students is destroyed after two years of inactivity.
Contact the high school or colleges where you have taken courses and ask them to send your official transcripts directly to Online and Continuing Education. If your previous school participates in secure electronic transcript sharing, such as Parchment, E-Script, or National Clearinghouse, they may send us login credentials to oce_admissions@uml.edu so we may download your official transcript, otherwise transcripts can be mailed to the address above.
Please Note:
If you are an applicant under the age of 21 and you have less than 12 credits from a college or university, you may be required to submit official SAT or ACT scores. Please contact the Online & Continuing Education Admissions Office at OCE_Admissions@uml.edu for more information.
