Office of Student Services

The function of advising is recognized as an integral part of the University’s educational mission. Advisors provide support as you make decisions regarding academic success, higher education, and lifelong learning. While we’re not here to make these decisions for you, we model the process of making these decisions in the future.

Visit the Academic Advising site for more information.

Students that have completed the programmatic requirements for their selected major may campus change to the Storrs Campus for the following semester. Informational meetings regarding campus change are held in October (for the Spring semester at Storrs) or February (for the Fall semester at Storrs). Students seeking to campus change between regional campuses can do so without any requirements.

CAMPUS CHANGE ELIGIBILITY

• Students who will have completed 54+ credits by the end of their current semester.
• Students in specific academic programs that require an early campus change. (You must have taken all the required first-year courses for that major.)
• Students with approved extenuating circumstances.

If you believe your major requires an early campus change OR
If you believe that you have an extenuating circumstance contact Kelly Bartlett, Interim Director of Student Services at Kelly.Bartlett@uconn.edu

CAMPUS CHANGE PROCESS
If you qualify, and are thinking of campus changing, carefully read the following.

• If you are eligible and you are looking to campus change, you are required to submit the following form – Campus Change Form. Please Note - a campus change form will not be processed if you have a Bursar hold.
• There will be no in-person campus change meeting. Once approved, students with additional questions are welcome to attend a virtual session available for students (hosted by Kelly Bartlett) with questions about campus change. Meetings dates/times will be sent to through the UConn student email system.
• If you are looking to live on campus, you need to complete the housing application.  You are responsible for completing the housing application by the stated deadline.

Visit our office if you are interested in discussing a change of major. Many majors have specific admission criteria and deadlines. Other majors can be changed through a declaration request process.

A student who fails to meet the minimum scholastic standards for two consecutively registered semesters (Fall and Spring or Spring and Fall) is subject to dismissal. However, no student with at least a 2.3 semester grade point average after completing all courses for which he or she is registered at the end of a semester shall be subject to dismissal; the student will be continued on scholastic probation if such status is warranted.

Students seeking to register for extra credits beyond the maximum allowed by the University must seek authorization from Kelly Bartlett, Director of Student Services at the Waterbury Campus at Kelly.Bartlett@uconn.edu or 203-236-9871.

If you require an extension of time for a previously approved incomplete, you must contact Kelly Bartlett, Director of Student Services at the Waterbury Campus at Kelly.Bartlett@uconn.edu or 203-236-9871 to discuss your request.

There are some special circumstances that grant students the ability to request permission to reschedule finals.  

Students may use this form to submit a request to reschedule a final exam because of extenuating circumstances. All requests will be reviewed and students will be notified of the final decision by email. Requests to reschedule due to extenuating circumstances must include supporting documentation. Submitting an online rescheduling request does not guarantee approval. The deadline for bunched finals rescheduling for the Spring 2022 semester is April 22nd, 2022 and requests received after this date will not be considered. Extenuating circumstances requests will be considered through the end of the semester.

 For further information, contact Kelly Bartlett, Director of Student Services at the Waterbury Campus at Kelly.Bartlett@uconn.edu or 203-236-9871 to discuss your request.

Students seeking to drop a course after the 9th week of classes can make a request through a Late Drop Petition. Please note that the Late Drop Petition Committee only grants permission to drop a course after the ninth week for extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control. Exceptions are not made for the student’s poor academic performance.

For further information, contact Kelly Bartlett, Director of Student Services at the Waterbury Campus at Kelly.Bartlett@uconn.edu or 203-236-9871 to discuss your request.

If you are in good academic standing and want to take a semester or more off with a specific return date to your same academic program, you may request a LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Whenever there is a gap in a student’s attendance, regardless of the reason, the student must complete an application for readmission through the Dean of Students Office. Readmission is not guaranteed. Criteria used in determining readmission include, but are not limited to, academic progress, university discipline history, and criminal history.

More information, including deadlines, is available on the Readmission website.
