The University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, though priority deadlines exist. Fall semester applications are recommended by February 1 for undergraduates, while graduate programs may have varying deadlines, often between January and April.
Spring semester deadlines typically fall around November 1 for undergraduates. Some programs, especially competitive or specialized ones, may enforce earlier deadlines. International students should apply at least three months prior to the semester start to allow for visa processing. Always verify specific deadlines for your intended program on UMass Lowell’s official admissions website, as dates can vary by department.
