Admitted Students

All classes for the Spring 2021 semester will begin on JANUARY 19.  However, all classes for the first two weeks of the semester will be conducted remotely.  In person classes will resume on February 1, 2021.

The best source of information for UConn’s Fall 2020 Reopening Plan can be found at https://reopen.uconn.edu.  For information specific to the UConn Promise go to https://reopen.uconn.edu/uconn-promise/

All off-campus and commuter students for all UConn campuses who are registered for in-person (in-person means hybrid-blended, split in-person, and fully in-person) instruction or who will be regularly working or doing research on campus are required to submit verification of a COVID-19 negative test result prior to coming to campus.  For information regarding COVID testing please go to  https://myhealth.uconn.edu/

Masks are required in ALL UConn Buildings (all NEW incoming students will be mailed a mask beginning in mid-December) and you MUST social distance (6 feet apart).  Classrooms and common areas will have directional signage to help you out with social distancing and off-limit areas and entrances/exits will be clearly marked.

UConn ID cards for all NEW students will be mailed to your home address once you have uploaded your photo.  For information on how to submit your photo, link here https://onecard.uconn.edu   If you do not receive your UConn ID Card before the beginning of the Spring semester,  please contact the One Card office.  https://onecard.uconn.edu/

Anyone coming to campus (even for just one day a week) needs a Parking Permit.  Parking areas A & B are designated for students. Parking permits are required and UConn Parking Services will periodically come to campus and ticket those parked illegally.  https://park.uconn.edu/

There are different modes of instruction for courses being taught this Spring..  You can check the “mode” of instruction for each of your classes via the Student Admin system.  If you are registered for any class identified as “in-person”, “split in-person”, or “hybrid-blended” you are expected to be on campus and must plan to be tested, obtain a parking permit and follow all safety guidelines.  ANY QUESTIONS you have about your classes should be directed to your instructors so reach out to your professors as soon as possible.  Don’t wait until the first day of class – your professors know that you may be emailing if you have special circumstances or questions and it is better to get this done now instead of waiting!

The Library will be open for all students on 2/1.  Hours will be Monday through Thursday from 10am to 4pm.  Printers and a limited number of computers are available and there will be study space on first floor only with reserved seating.  https://lib.uconn.edu/services/reserve-a-seat.   However, no lending of devices will be available this semester and meeting rooms are off limits. If you need to make an appointment before 2/1, you can do so by connecting with Beth Rumery at  http://s.uconn.edu/researchwithbeth

Our ACADEMIC CENTER will be operating remotely and provides free peer tutoring in just about every subject we teach.  Academic tutoring, workshops, review sessions and support is available on-line and operated very successfully this past Fall semester.   Go to https://uconn.mywconline.net/ to make an appointment.
