Graduate Admissions

Applying to a Graduate Program

UMass Lowell utilizes a Centralized Application Service (CAS), to streamline the process of applying into graduate programs.

Here's how the CAS process works for UMass Lowell graduate programs:

  1. Create a CAS Account: Select a program to be directed to the appropriate CAS portal where you can create your application (Nursing and MPH applications are created through WebApp). Interested in more than one program? You can use the same username and password to submit multiple applications across multiple CAS portals.
  2. Select Your Program in CAS: After logging in, search for and select the University of Massachusetts Lowell program to which you wish to apply. Complete the application sections, including personal information, academic history, supporting information, and program materials.
  3. Submit Supporting Materials: Your transcripts and letters of recommendation can be sent directly to CAS; most programs also allow for sending these items directly to the University. You can also upload documents such as a statement of purpose, resume/CV, and test scores if they are required (GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, or IELTS).
  4. Pay Application Fees: CAS charges a fee for each application you submit.
