Welcome and congratulations on being accepted to the University of Connecticut at Stamford.
You are beginning an exciting and challenging intellectual experience and we are eager to help you. To make your transition as smooth as possible, we have created a set of five (5) steps that you must complete online.**
Through this online process** you will select appropriate English and math courses, begin your technology training, sign up for an advising session, select your health insurance coverage, and learn how to manage your financial responsibilities.
- Complete the first 3 Steps now.
- Sign up for the earliest session that matches your major of interest.
- Complete the remaining 2 Steps before attending the Advising and Registration Session.
Fall Registration FAQs
Why is it urgent to complete Steps One, Two and Three right away?
- To enroll in classes, you must first attend an Advising Session.
- The online process** is the only way to sign up for an advising session (Step Three).
- Each advising session has only a limited number of seats. Sessions will close when the limit is reached.
When do new students register for fall classes?
- Advising and Registration Sessions are scheduled between late May and the beginning of July.
- This five-week period has been designated for new students to see an advisor and register for fall.
- Therefore, make sure you attend advising and complete your registration during this designated period.
Why should new students enroll BEFORE July?
- After July begins, other students will be allowed to enroll. These students will fill many of the remaining classes.
- When each class reaches its enrollment limit, no more enrollments are permitted for that class.
- Therefore, students who delay their advising and enrollment until July or August will have fewer choices.
What if I am still attending school until late June?
- Please arrange your current school work and activities in order to complete your registration before July.
What if I will be away on vacation during the summer?
- If you find that you must register after July 4, keep a flexible attitude about what your choices may be.
- Please be prepared to compromise on what classes you can take and when your classes are scheduled.
- Last-minute advising sessions will be posted before the fall semester begins. Please complete the 5- step process online and sign-up for the earliest session available.
**Note to the curious:
Are you wondering why all new students must learn to use the online process?
You will understand better as you become more familiar with UCONN’s expectations. Entering students must demonstrate these basic computer technology skills as part of their General Education Competency Requirements. You also will be preparing for a more successful first semester at UConn, because here you will find all course enrollments, communications, student services, financial aid, billing and student records are online. |
