Students graduating from the state's community colleges may benefit from special transfer admissions agreements between those schools and UMass Dartmouth. Admissions offices at the university and at the community colleges can supply the details. You may receive credit for courses you've taken elsewhere if they're equivalent to the courses offered here. For a UMass Dartmouth degree, you must complete at least 60 credits here. Receiving a certain score means you can forego a course that would usually be required.
Financial aid is available to all students , including non-traditional ones.
Most of our students do receive assistance, which comes in a variety of forms. Students who need child care can take advantage of the university's Children's Center for Learning. The College of Nursing has a special program for registered nurses who want to pursue their baccalaureate degree while continuing with their personal and professional responsibilities. The Web-based Voyager system gives students quick, easy access to a wealth of information, both text and graphic, and students can use it from home as well as on campus. It is a key component of the library's many resources, which take both traditional and technological forms.
