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.

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.

Exceptions

Exceptions to the credit requirement are determined by programmatic requirements. Students seeking an early campus change should speak to:

  • A representative from the Office of Student Services at their regional campus to determine whether or not they qualify.
  • An 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:

  • Agriculture and Natural Resources
  • Allied Health Sciences
  • Animal Science
  • Applied and Resource Economics
  • Diagnostic Genetic Sciences
  • Dietetics
  • Environmental Sciences
  • Environmental Studies
  • Exercise Science

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.

School of Engineering

If you are a declared School 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.
  • Contact your assigned regional campus advisor as listed in Peoplesoft.
  • Consider registering for ENGR 3184, a one-credit transition seminar course in Storrs.

Residential Life's staff can answer all of your questions about the housing application process. As a regional campus student, you are a current UConn student – not a transfer student. If you call Residential Life, please identify yourself as a campus change student.

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.

Tuition and Fees

As a campus change student, your fee bill will change, so please prepare ahead of time and make accommodations.
