Application Instructions

Submission of the $80 application fee (non-refundable) is available through the chosen application. Applicants who qualify for a fee waiver, as outlined in the application, may select the fee waiver option when completing their application. The University of Connecticut does not provide fee waiver codes.

All postsecondary official transcript(s) from each institution attended are required whether or not credit is desired or expected. All academic credentials not written in English must be accompanied by an official, certified English translation. To be considered official, transcripts must include the school’s official seal or the signature of a school administrator, and must be sent directly from the institution either through a secure electronic transfer service (i.e., E-Scrip Safe, National Student Clearing House, Parchment, etc.) to onestop@uconn.edu or by mail in a sealed envelope to:

The 250-650 word essay should include a thoughtful commentary on your academic goals; an explanation for leaving your present/most recently attended college; and your reasoning for wanting to attend the University of Connecticut. If your educational attendance has not been continuous, you must include information about the activities you were involved in during the time(s) not spent in school.

Certain restricted programs have a supplemental application and/or additional requirements. Please be aware that these deadlines may be different than the Transfer Admissions deadline.
