Admission With Advanced Standing
Advanced Placement and Credit (AP)
See "Academic Regulations" section of this Catalog.
Connecticut
High School Cooperative Program
Selected Connecticut secondary schools with specially selected members of the staff will offer regular University courses at the freshman-sophomore level to superior students. The content of the courses will be determined by the appropriate University department and the examinations must be approved by these departments. Qualified high school students who are admitted to this program and who successfully complete such courses will receive the regular University credit for them. Persons interested in this cooperative program should contact Michael Menard, Program Manager of the Connecticut High School Cooperative Program, University of Connecticut, 348 Mansfield Road, Unit 2171, Storrs, CT 06269-2171, Telephone (860) 486-1045.
Testing for Course Placement/Credit
Most new students take one or more standardized achievement tests to assess the appropriateness of enrolling for courses in fields such as mathematics and foreign language at the advanced level. Also, certain departments offer standardized achievement tests to determine course placement. In some cases, i.e. chemistry, students may receive credit and/or grades for the courses for which exemption is granted at the time of matriculation. The Department of Counseling Services administers these tests during the spring and summer to provide results for the student's initial registration.
The Undergraduate Admissions Office offers a one year deferred admission to students who have applied and been accepted as freshmen. This policy benefits that student who desires to attend the University but who, for personal and/or financial reasons, wishes to postpone admission. An approved deferral guarantees admission for either of the subsequent two semesters. During the deferred period, a student may not accumulate in excess of nine credits at another institution. Requests for deferral must be in writing and should be received at the Undergraduate Admissions Office no later than one month prior to the start of the semester for which the student was admitted. Transfer students may not defer their admission; however, they may reactivate their application for admission for consideration for either of the two subsequent semesters. Contact Undergraduate Transfer Admissions for information.
The completed application
should include:
Transfer students deficient in any of the minimum admission requirements (see Freshman Admission) will be eligible for consideration at a Freshman or Sophomore level only if the following conditions are met:
Course credits are transferred when (1) the course has been taken at a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution, (2) the grade earned is no lower than a "C-,'' and (3) a similar course is offered by the University. College-level work given in or under the direction of an accredited college or university as part of the armed services program will be accepted for credit on the same basis as other transfer work. In addition, the University will consider for transfer courses completed at foreign universities and in study abroad programs sponsored by accredited American universities.
The number of transfer credits students receive depends upon the character, quantity, and quality of the work they have completed. Grades do not transfer; the grade point average of transfer students is computed only on the work taken at the University of Connecticut. The student's major department advisor and dean will determine whether transferred course work may be used to satisfy University of Connecticut degree requirements.
Complete transcripts of all work taken at other institutions must be submitted as a part of the admission procedure whether or not credit for such work is desired or expected. Official transcripts for any course work completed after admission to this University must be submitted as soon as this work is concluded. Students who fail to acknowledge attendance at any college in which they have been registered automatically waive the right to have that work considered for transfer credit and may be subject to denial of admission, loss of course credit and/or suspension.
Consideration for transfer of course work is made according to the Transfer Guidelines for Evaluation adopted by the University Senate.
The University recognizes the importance of intercultural understanding in education. To this end, the University has undertaken a program to encourage African-American, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and other underrepresented students to attend this institution. Questions should be directed to the Undergraduate Admissions Office.
The facilities of the H.
Fred Simons African-American Cultural Center, Asian
American Cultural Center, Puerto
Rican/Latin American Cultural Center, and the International
Center are available to all students interested in developing and promoting
an understanding of various cultures.
The University of Connecticut provides educational opportunities of the highest quality to all students. It makes a contribution to international education by encouraging the enrollment of students from all parts of the world. It selects, however, only those applicants who are academically, linguistically, and financially prepared for University work in this country.
International students requesting admission information receive an application that includes detailed instructions about required supporting material (official academic transcripts, personal essay, financial affidavit, TOEFL and SAT or ACT scores). Prospective international students should begin application procedures one year before intended matriculation. International students who are interested in transferring from another college or university can only apply for the fall semester. Prospective students may submit correspondence to University of Connecticut, Undergraduate Admissions Office, 3121 Hillside Road, Unit 3088, Storrs, CT 06269-3088 U.S.A.
The University of Connecticut is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation for persons with disabilities. It is the University's policy that no qualified person be excluded from participating in any University program or activity, be denied the benefits of any University program or activity, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination with regard to any University program or activity. This policy derives from the University's commitment to non discrimination for all persons in employment, access to facilities, student programs, activities, and services.

Students With Specific Learning Disabilities
Through the University of Connecticut's Program for College Students
with Learning Disabilities (UPLD), students with specific learning disabilities
may
receive support services including direct instruction in learning strategies
and assistance in arranging appropriate accommodations. To access UPLD
services, students are required to submit documentation that meets the
University's Guidelines which are included on the UPLD's website at: http://www.ucc.uconn.edu/~wwwcped/docu.htm
or in the University of Connecticut Policies and Procedures Regarding

Early Admission Program for High School Juniors
Each year, the University of Connecticut admits a limited number of high school juniors who show unusual promise of success at college work. Such students must meet the following requirements:
The University especially encourages application from adults who wish to enroll in university-level classes and earn a baccalaureate degree for personal enrichment, employment opportunity, and/or skill development. Adult students apply as freshmen or transfers and enroll on either a part-time or full-time basis at any of the six University campuses. Because the educational history, motivation, and present interests of adult students differ widely from those of the average applicant, the University may waive the SAT or ACT scores for admission purposes.
Adults may enroll at the main campus in Storrs or at a Regional Campus located in Hartford, Groton, Stamford, Torrington, or Waterbury. The Regional Campuses offer evening courses at all locations, are within easy commuting distance, and provide a quality university education at a reasonable cost.
The purpose of the program is to expand opportunities in higher education for New England residents by making equally available to all students those programs not commonly offered at every institution. This practice reduces duplication of courses and thus uses most efficiently the higher educational facilities in each state.
Students may obtain detailed information about this exceptional program
through the University of Connecticut's Undergraduate Admissions Office,
or from any high school guidance counselor, or from the New England Board
of Higher Education, 45 Temple Place, Boston, MA 02111 (617) 357-9620,

The Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) program is a junior-senior year
university degree program administered by the College
of Continuing Studies. Applicants to the program must have earned an associate's
degree
or completed at least the first two years of college (i.e., 60 semester
credits) at a regionally accredited institution. In addition, applicants
must complete special application procedures that include an individual
interview and a written statement of educational objective. BGS students
do not have traditional majors. Admission to the program is determined
by several factors including, but not limited to, an assessment of the
student's prior education, educational goals, and the ability of the University
to assist the individual. Further information can be obtained from the
BGS Counselor at any University campus by calling one of the following:
The Non-Degree Study Program
of the University of Connecticut enables qualified individuals to register
in regular credit courses for academic credit without being admitted to
an undergraduate or graduate degree program.
Non-degree students often are individuals taking credit courses prior to applying for admission to one of the University's schools or colleges. They may also be students from other universities or colleges taking credit courses at the University of Connecticut for transfer back to their own institutions. Or they may be individuals taking credit courses for personal or professional reasons.
To enroll in undergraduate-level credit courses, non-degree students ordinarily must either have graduated from a state-approved secondary school or have a high school equivalency diploma. A bachelor's degree is usually required for enrollment in graduate level courses as a non-degree student.
Non-degree students may register in credit courses for which they have the necessary background and qualifications and in which space is available. All prerequisites to a course (or their equivalent) as listed in the University of Connecticut Catalogs must be met by the student prior to registration. Special permission to enroll may also be required in selected courses or academic disciplines. Ordinarily, non-degree students may register for no more than eight credits in an academic semester.
The refund policy applicable to non-degree students may vary from the refund policy in effect for degree-seeking students, and may also vary between the academic year, the summer, and special programs. Consult the appropriate course schedule for the refund policy applicable in a given term at a specific site.
To continue studying at the University of Connecticut, a non-degree student must maintain a "C" average in courses taken at the University of Connecticut. If, after 12 credits, a non-degree student has not maintained a "C" average or better (i.e., a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better), permission to continue as a non-degree student at the University ordinarily will be suspended. A higher grade point average is usually required for graduate level courses.
Non-degree status does not constitute or guarantee admission to any degree program at the University of Connecticut. However, a non-degree student who has completed 24 credits at the University of Connecticut with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 may petition for a change of classification from non-degree student status to regular status as a student seeking a bachelor's degree. This application for degree seeking status must be made to and processed by the Transfer Admissions Office to ensure that all students are officially matriculated into the University. The Transfer Admissions Office handles the processing of all students, other than BGS students, moving into a degree classification. This includes students who have been enrolled at another institution prior to their non-degree study here, who wish to move from non-degree to degree classification, and are in the process of completing 24 non-degree credits; as well as non-degree students without previous college-level course work. Students are urged to check with the dean of the school or college they wish to enter to determine appropriate courses to take within the 24 credits. If admitted to regular status, a determination will be made at the time by the dean of the school or college in which the student has been accepted as to whether the credits earned as a non-degree student may be counted toward the degree. Credits from other institutions cannot be evaluated for transfer to a degree program at the University of Connecticut unless and until a person has been accepted into degree-seeking status. Regular application procedures for admission to graduate degree programs apply at all times. Ordinarily, only 6 credits earned in non-degree status can be used in a graduate program.
Former undergraduate degree students at the University of Connecticut may enroll as non-degree students. However, if degree-seeking status is desired, former students should seek formal readmission to degree status at the University since credits earned in non-degree status might not be accepted towards the degree. Note that a former degree student who has been academically dismissed from the University or who has been suspended needs special written permission to register - even as a non-degree student. Consult the appropriate semester course schedule for more detailed instructions on this regulation.

of Connecticut or on how to register as a non-degree student, contact the
