We encourage you to complete the 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for financial aid. List the UMassD school code on your FAFSA so we can receive your information: 002210. If you have already completed the FAFSA, please make sure you update the FAFSA with the UMassD school code

More information: Financial Aid

You will receive an email inviting you to activate your UMassD student account. The subject line will be "UMassD Logon Account Activation."

The UMassD Logon is your username and password for email, our "myUMassD" portal, and our "COIN" student information system. It is different from the “Check My Status” ID and password you’ve used as an applicant. You may have already activated your account to upload Financial Aid documents. You will not receive your email to activate your account until you have paid your deposit.

State law requires a placement test in math, and if your academic program requires it, a placement test in a foreign language. These tests enable us to place you into the appropriate courses, and have no impact on your admission to the university.

For information and completion of placement exams, please log into the myUMassD portal. You will receive an email inviting you to activate your UMassD student account. Once activated, you may log into the myUMassD portal and go to the placement testing page.

Exemption from the tests only occurs if you have received transfer credit for college-level math or college-level foreign language. AP credits do not exempt a student from testing.

If you have questions, please email: placement@umassd.edu

Offers of acceptance to UMass Dartmouth are contingent upon successful completion of all courses in high school and/or college and certification of your high school graduation. If your performance declines significantly, we reserve the right to rescind your acceptance.

Visa: Accepted international students need an I-20 document in order to enter the United States. The I-20 is a multi-purpose document issued by UMass Dartmouth certifying that a student has been admitted to a full-time study program and that the student has demonstrated sufficient financial resources to stay in the U.S. An admitted student needs to take the I-20 to the American embassy or consulate when applying for a student visa.

To demonstrate your financial resources: Submit the Declaration of Finances (PDF) with the required documentation.
