University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Homeschooled students are subject to the same admissions standards as other students. Homeschool applicants must meet both academic course and GPA requirements. Per the board of higher education, students can be homeschooled in accordance with education plans that are approved by the superintendent of the school district in which the student resides.

Certain homeschool applicants may meet our no test option. Home-school applicants with a minimum of 12 transferrable college credits are eligible to apply without test scores. Please visit our Transfer Dictionary for information on transferrable credits. Home-school applicants applying for admission with less than 12 transferrable college credits may appeal the test score requirement. These applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
