Admitted Student Checklist

Secure your spot in UConn’s incoming class by submitting your Reply Form and paying the non-refundable enrollment fee by May 1, or by January 15 if you are accepted through Early Decision. If you are admitted after May 1, 2025, your enrollment fee is due within two weeks of the date marked on your acceptance letter. Your enrollment fee confirms your commitment to attend the University of Connecticut and is applied toward your orientation program. Your enrollment fee is not applied directly to your tuition.

If you have completed the FAFSA, visit your applicant portal in early March to view and accept, reduce or decline your offer.

Your new campus is made up of exceptional individuals who are ready to drive you to your fullest potential. Whether it’s attending our UConn Bound Days for admitted students or touring our campus, see for yourself why UConn is an exciting and vibrant community.

Once your enrollment fee is received, you’ll be invited to UConn’s onboarding portal where you will complete a series of tasks including registering for an orientation session. All new students are required to attend an orientation session where you’ll learn more about our academic programs, student community, and on-campus services; meet with an academic advisor; and select fall semester classes. Details will be sent to your personal email account beginning in mid-March. Visit UConn Orientation for more information.

Storrs Main Campus
Once you have submitted your enrollment fee, you will have access to submit the housing application. You will be notified via email when your housing application is available, typically 3-5 business days after receipt of your enrollment fee. Students accepted through Early Decision will be notified of housing details in mid-March.

First-year students (Storrs) are required to submit the housing application by May 23, 2025.

UConn’s Learning Communities are popular options for new Huskies. Students interested in participating in a Learning Community are encouraged to apply through the housing application by May 1 for priority consideration.

UConn Stamford
Submit the online housing application to request university housing at UConn Stamford by May 23. Early completion is recommended as space is limited. Housing notifications will be sent to your UConn student email account.

You are required to submit a Student Health History Questionnaire, including proof of all required immunizations, prior to attending orientation. Documents may be uploaded to your student health portal. Visit Student Health and Wellness for more information.

First-year students are required to submit their official final high school/secondary school transcript, including graduation date to enroll at UConn in the fall. Transfer students must submit their official final transcript from the institution most recently attended. Transcripts must be submitted to UConn directly from the institution either electronically through an authorized provider such as Parchment, eSCRIP or National Clearinghouse, or by postal mail in a sealed envelope.

Final transcripts must be received by July 1.

Students who attended an institution outside of the United States where the transcript is in a language other than English must submit both an official transcript in the native language as well as a certified translation that includes the student’s high school graduation date.

If you are a first-year student and have participated in a concurrent partnership program while in high school, official transcripts should be sent to the University of Connecticut directly by the participating college or university. Credit is considered for transfer, but some restrictions can apply. Mathematics courses can be transferable at any level, however credit is awarded at the discretion of the University of Connecticut’s Mathematics Department. UConn considers all courses completed in partnership programs for transfer credit in keeping with NACEP standards.

Transfer Credit Reports are made available to incoming first-year students when credits are posted early in the first semester.

If you took Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses in high school, view the equivalencies. Official AP scores must be sent directly from the College Board to be considered for AP credit. To be considered for IB credit, the official IB transcript must be sent directly from the IB Office to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and students must have earned the IB Diploma.

If you are a transfer student, your transfer credit summary is available to you at the time of admission and can be found in your applicant portal. Your academic advisor will discuss the report with you in detail when you register for courses during Orientation.

The Form I-20 will enable you to apply for the F-1 visa necessary to study in the United States. The F-1 application should be completed immediately as it is difficult to determine the length of time for processing.  Your Form I-20 will be available electronically in the ISSS Portal after your supporting documents and enrollment fee are received. In order to provide the most accurate information, please allow 24 hours from submitting your enrollment fee to access the ISSS Portal.

Pre-departure program videos are now available to help you prepare for your arrival at UConn. These videos cover important topics such as completing university tasks, living in the U.S. and at UConn, and navigating immigration and travel.

Fall fee bills are issued by mid-June and due August 1. It is important to plan how you are going to pay for your fee bill in advance. Even if you are receiving grants, scholarships, and/or taking out loans, you may still have a balance you need to pay out-of-pocket. You can start planning now by reviewing helpful fee bill information on the Office of the Bursar website, including a Tuition & Fees Estimator Tool to help determine your expected out-of-pocket balance and payment plan options.
