Decisions
UConn automatically considers all first-year admission applicants for merit scholarships and our Honors Program. Qualified applicants will receive an offer of merit scholarship and invitation to the Honors Program with their admission decision.
Students applying to UConn are asked to select a first- and second-choice campus. If a second-choice campus is not selected and we are unable to offer an invitation to the first-choice campus, an applicant may receive an acceptance letter with an alternative campus chosen for them.
In addition to admissions offers made directly to a UConn campus, the University offers a number of pathways that may also be included in your admission decision.
Center for Access and Postsecondary Success (CAPS)
(Connecticut students only)
The Center for Access and Postsecondary Success (CAPS) supports first-generation and underserved students as they transition to college. Students are conditionally admitted to UConn through CAPS and must successfully complete a five-week summer program (residential at Storrs, non-residential at regional campuses) to enroll in the fall.
Storrs Spring Admission Program
(Connecticut students only)
The Storrs Spring Admission Program allows students to begin their UConn education at a regional campus and then seamlessly transition to the Storrs campus starting in their spring semester. This invitation-only opportunity enables us to accommodate some of our most outstanding in-state applicants that we could not accept immediately to the Storrs campus.
Verto Huskies Pathway
Verto Huskies Pathway is an agreement between UConn and Verto Education that provides high-achieving students who have applied for admission to UConn with an opportunity to study abroad in one of five locations with Verto and then seamlessly transfer to UConn for the remainder of their college experience.
UConn American English Language Institute (UCAELI)
The University of Connecticut American English Language Institute (UCAELI) offers English language instruction to help students reach their academic and professional goals. Students may be conditionally admitted to UConn based on participation in UCAELI, but after completing the six-week summer program and earning the UCAELI Proficiency Certificate, students then receive formal admission and a Form I-20.
