Resources for Campus Change and Transfer Students
Resources for students who are transferring to UConn's main campus in Storrs from a regional campus or another higher education institution.
Transfer Admissions
Interested in transferring to the University of Connecticut? Visit the UConn Transfer Admissions website for information about admissions requirements, key dates, and how to apply.
Transfer Orientation
Students who are transferring to UConn from another higher education institution must attend a transfer orientation session. The University holds sessions for both fall and spring admits.
Campus Change Process
Students can transfer from a regional campus to the Storrs campus if they have:
- Achieved 54 credits at the regional campus
- Completed a campus change form from the student services office at their regional campus by the appropriate deadline
- Attended the campus change meeting at their regional campus
Students should work with their advisor to plan out subsequent semester course loads and decide when a change of campus is warranted. Students may take courses at any campus: Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Storrs, and Waterbury. However, students must be registered for the majority of their credits at their home campus. The home campus is the campus to which the student was admitted unless an authorized campus change has taken place. If a student is enrolled in coursework across two campuses evenly, the student can choose their home campus. Regional campus students interested in campus changing to Storrs should see the student services office on their campus for information regarding Storrs’ on-campus housing deadlines and other important deadlines.
