Tuition and Fees for next year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many\npeople are asking us what tuition and fees will look like for next year. It\u2019s a\nvalid question and we hope to give you more clarity soon. Tuition and fees are\nset each year by the Board of Trustees. This typically happens in the late\nspring or early summer. We are still trying to see what our fall semester will\nlook like. New things come into focus consistently, but we still don\u2019t have the\nfull picture. Once we do, we can set a tuition and fee schedule for the fall.\nRest assured that student financial impact is at the forefront of the tuition\nconversations we are having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are available and willing to help you\nduring this time. Reach out to us if you have any questions about financial\naid, funding your education at UMass Lowell or just need a friendly ear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
