Admissions & Financial Aid

Open House

UMass Boston students meet outside of the Harbor Point apartments where they live next to the campus.

Saturday, October 13, 2012

Registration opens in the late summer.

No matter if you're looking to start your undergraduate college experience as a first-year freshman or transfer from your current college, or finish a degree you started elsewhere but never finished -- drop by and make yourself at home at our annual Open House in mid-October!

During Open House, you'll get to:

  • Talk casually with UMass Boston faculty, staff and students
  • Learn more about majors and minors at the Academic Programs Fair
  • Enjoy a guided tour of the seaside campus
  • Attend workshops on admissions, financial aid, and student housing
  • Take a tour of off-campus housing just steps from the university
  • Meet leaders of many student clubs and organizations
  • And enjoy some light refreshments and entertainment!
