Prospective Students

Enrollment Categories

International Students

International students are eligible only for fall admission, and must have completed English (non-ESL) composition course work. Additional documents including TOEFL scores and a certified affidavit of financial status must be submitted. International students not currently studying in the United States must file an International Student Application, available from the Admissions Office or the Stockbridge School Office.

Applicants with Learning Disabilities

In-state freshman applicants who meet the conditions described in Chapter 766 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are not required to submit SAT results, although they may do so. Applicants with learning disabilities must submit their diagnostics and Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), if they have one. Students may access Disability Services website at www.umass.edu/disability/ for specific information regarding services for students with learning disabilities.

Minority Student Admission Program

The University has an Affirmative Action commitment to provide information and assistance to minority students in making application for admission. Minority individuals are defined in Presidential Executive Order 11246 as including Black, not of Hispanic origin; Cape Verdean; Hispanic; Asian or Pacific Islander; and American Indian or Alaskan Native.
The following ALANA (African American, Latino, Asian, and Native American) programs provide support and multicultural programming for all interested students: CCEBMS (Committee for the Collegiate Education of Black and other Minority Students), BCP (Bilingual Collegiate Program for Hispanic and other bilingual students), NASSS (Native American Student Support Services) and UALRC (United Asia Learning Resource Center).

Part-Time Students

Stockbridge has a Special Student status for anyone interested in taking courses part-time, that is, less than 12 credits per semester. Admittance to any course is on a space available basis. Special Students register for courses in the Stockbridge School Office, 115 Stockbridge Hall, on the first day of classes during either semester.
Part-time students may elect to take classes through the Division of Continuing Education; phone: 413-545-2414. However, in order to qualify for an associate of science degree through Stockbridge, a student may not take more than nine (9) total credits through Continuing Education and no more than six (6) during any one semester.

Senior Citizens

Senior citizens (age 60 or over) are entitled to take courses free of charge. Application forms for tuition waivers are available in the Bursar's Office, 215 Whitmore Administration Building.

Veterans

Veterans are considered under regular admissions policies. All veterans must submit a copy of their DD214 to verify potential credits earned for military experience. Do not submit the original, as this document will be needed at a later date to establish eligibility for GI Bill benefits. If still on active duty, submit the copy upon release from military service. For further information, please contact the University's Veteran's Assistance and Counseling Services Office in the Dean of Students Office, 227 Whitmore Administration Building; phone: 413- 545-2684.
The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides veterans and their dependents with information about education benefits via a toll-free number, 1-888-442-4551, and a web site at www.va.gov/education.
