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 onestop@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 school/college-specific information.
College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources
If you are a declared major within College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR), the 54-credit rule may not apply to you. To determine eligibility, please reach out to your assigned advisor or student support office at your current campus.
College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
CLAS students should speak to Student Services at their regional campus first. If approved for a campus change, you are required to attend a CLAS campus change presentation at your regional campus during the semester prior to your campus change.
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.
College of Engineering
If you are a declared College of Engineering major, the 54-credit rule may not apply to you. Please do the following:
- Contact Shoshana Armington and schedule an appointment via Nexus the semester prior to campus changing.
- Consider registering for ENGR 3184, a one-credit transition seminar course in Storrs (Fall only). Contact Shoshana Armington for a permission number to enroll.
