MassTransfer Program
Students who transfer to UMass Lowell from a Massachusetts community college with a MassTransfer-approved associate degree may be eligible to participate in the MassTransfer Program*, making it easier and more affordable to transfer that associate’s into a bachelor's earned on-campus or by enrolling in classes online.
Benefits include:
- Application fee waiver. You may use any one of our application methods.
- Guaranteed admission with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.500.
- In-state tuition credit for students who have completed their MassTransfer associate degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.000 or higher. Visit the MassTransfer Tuition Credit page for more information.
If you completed college coursework during high school, you must apply as a first-year applicant.
Talk to your community college advisor for more information on the benefits of transferring with your associate degree.
*Students who enroll in online or evening degree programs through UMass Lowell's Division of Graduate, Online and Professional Studies are not eligible for MassTransfer tuition discount benefits. However, these students may be eligible for other benefits including scholarship opportunities specific to those interested in completing a degree online with UMass Lowell.
