Umass Amherst Continuing Education Transcript Request
How to Apply
The Design/Build Semester offers Priority, Standard, and Rolling admissions. We recommend that you submit your application as early as possible. Our program is open to students of all backgrounds including current undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates from any college or university, and individuals who have no past or current collegiate affiliation. For students enrolling for credits, credits are transferred at the discretion of the student's home institution. No previous architecture or construction experience is necessary; the only prerequisite is self-motivation.
We ask that you provide sincere and candid answers explaining your interest in the Semester Program and what qualities you feel you can contribute to the program. It is essential that you have read the website information carefully to develop a clear expectation of what this experience entails.
CLICK HERE TO APPLY TO THE 2023 DESIGN/BUILD SEMESTER
The Design/Build Semester accepts students in several different ways depending on their affiliation.
1) Students from any college or university, or those seeking credit but not currently enrolled in a college or university, can participate in the Design/Build Semester by enrolling in 15 credits through UMass Amherst's University Without Walls program. Students will become continuing education students at UMass earning 15 undergrad and graduate level credits. Students will pay credit fees to UMass and will pay room and board and program fees to Yestermorrow. There is no additional application process for students enrolling through the UWW program.
2) Domestic exchange students—National Student Exchange, UMass Student Exchange, or New England Land Grant Exchange—can enroll directly through UMass Amherst assuming approval of the exchange application. Domestic exchange students are considered to be UMass Amherst students for the semester. Students apply for financial aid through their home institution or through UMass, depending on the payment plan on which they are accepted. Click here for a full list of participating institutions. See the NSE coordinator on your campus to find out more information about how to apply, application deadlines, and financial aid transfer. Students will pay room and board and other fees to Yestermorrow.
3) UMass Amherst students can, with departmental approval, enroll directly in 15 credits of courses offered through the Department of Architecture. Students will pay room, board, and other fees to the Yestermorrow Design/Build School.
4) Students who are not currently enrolled in a degree program and who do not wish to earn credits can enroll directly through Yestermorrow without paying UMass fees but will pay additional fees to Yestermorrow. There are only a limited number of "non-credit" seats available and admittance under this option is at the discretion of the admissions staff.
