ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Every year over 1000 highly qualified students transfer to the Storrs and regional campuses of the University of Connecticut. They come for many reasons, including our exceptional range of academic programs, nationally recognized Schools and Colleges, and our renowned faculty. They also come because of our positive attitude toward transfer students. Transferring from one school to another can be challenging. That’s why we work hard to make transferring to UConn as smooth a process as possible to help qualified students obtain the superior education they deserve.
