Set Criminary - Hidden

Yes

How criminal history information is considered: Although we request that you disclose criminal history on your application, any information you provide will not be used to determine your candidacy for admission. Candidacy will be based only on your academic performance. If you are admissible, only then will one of our directors look at the criminal history information you provided. This separate evaluation will be done to determine whether the criminal activity was serious enough to have a bearing on the final admissions decision. In the rare event that we determine prior criminal history may adversely affect your candidacy for admission, we typically ask an applicant to first provide additional information to help us in making our determination.

Tuition Residency

In general, if you are a dependent student and at least one parent or guardian has resided in Massachusetts for one year or longer immediately preceding starting classes at UMass Amherst, then you qualify for in-state tuition. Vacation homes may not be used to qualify for Massachusetts residency. Also we review your permanent address for residency verification.

To determine if you can be considered a Massachusetts resident and thereby qualify for in-state tuition, please review the tuition policy.
