Tuition and Fees for next year
Many people are asking us what tuition and fees will look like for next year. It’s a valid question and we hope to give you more clarity soon. Tuition and fees are set each year by the Board of Trustees. This typically happens in the late spring or early summer. We are still trying to see what our fall semester will look like. New things come into focus consistently, but we still don’t have the full picture. Once we do, we can set a tuition and fee schedule for the fall. Rest assured that student financial impact is at the forefront of the tuition conversations we are having.
We are available and willing to help you during this time. Reach out to us if you have any questions about financial aid, funding your education at UMass Lowell or just need a friendly ear.
