Storrs Campus Tour
Considering a transition to Storrs? Whether you haven't seen the campus yet or want to get more familiar with your potential new home, a campus tour is a great way to see campus and ask questions.
Overview & Eligibility
To be eligible for campus change from a regional campus to Storrs, you must fulfill specific programmatic requirements for your intended major. Most students must complete 54 credits before they can campus change to Storrs. In addition, first-year students are required to spend a minimum of two semesters on their regional campus before they are eligible to apply for campus change to Storrs.
Eligible students can campus change to Storrs for either the fall or spring semester. In order to change campuses, you must apply by the deadlines listed below. We recommend attending an info session at your campus in order to understand the requirements and process.
Storrs Spring Admission Program
Students who have been admitted through the Storrs Spring Admission Program are not considered campus change students. Visit the Admissions website for more information.
New/Incoming Students
New/incoming students should not complete this form; instead, reach out to beahusky@uconn.edu with any questions about your admissions decision or campus.
Exceptions
Exceptions to the credit requirement are determined by major and program requirements. Students seeking an early campus change should speak to:
- A representative from the Office of Student Services or Advising Center at their regional campus to determine whether or not they qualify.
- Their assigned academic advisor from their school/college
- Review the details below for their school/college
College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources
If you are a declared CAHNR major, please contact an advisor in the Office of Academic Programs to discuss your campus change requirements, because the 54-credit rule may not apply for the following majors:

School of Business
Students in the School of Business must be in a major offered at Storrs to proceed through the campus change process to Storrs. See majors offered by campus on the Majors in Business website. Students interested in changing majors must apply through the School of Business Internal Admission process. No campus changes to Storrs will be approved without admission to a Storrs-based major, and 54 earned credits. Interested students should work with their academic advisor to identify eligibility requirements and plan accordingly.

If you are a declared School of Engineering major, the 54-credit rule may not apply to you. Please do the following:

Important Housing Residency Information
Students who will be 19 or younger at the start of the semester are required to live on campus as a part of the Residency Requirement.
