Undergraduate Admissions

High school performance (quality of courses, grades earned, and class rank) is the primary basis for determining freshman admission to the University. SAT-I or ACT test scores are required, and individual circumstances, extracurricular activities, work experience, and letters of recommendation are all considered.

Prospective students are encouraged to visit campus. Student-led walking tours leave the Campus Center Information Desk seven days a week at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. every day except Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Week, UMass March Break, legal holidays, and weekends in June and July.

Undergraduate Admissions Information Sessions are held in the Campus Center complex at 12:30 p.m. every day except Sundays, Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Week, UMass March Break, weekends in June and July, and most legal holidays. Reservations are not needed and the location of a particular day’s session is available from the Campus Center information desk

Individual schools and colleges also host annual open houses to acquaint prospective students with particular departments, programs, and facilities.
