Dear student,
Over the past two months, the University has been investigating the best, safe way to offer classes this fall. After consulting with our instructors, campus directors, dean’s offices, and the Connecticut Department of Public Heath, we have arrived at a number of changes that will allow us to offer our classes in the most effective manner possible while still observing important safety guidelines. The most direct and obvious changes are a reduction of classroom seating capacity to allow for physical distancing during class, along with an increased focus on distance learning and online classes.
How will this affect me?
Throughout this week, we will be making changes to the class schedule in Student Admin. While these changes are being processed the class schedule will be fluid, and we ask that you regard any changes you might see as tentative. The most common change will be the move to a different mode of instruction as many classes will now be offered online. On July 6
th
, the initial changes to the class schedule will be completed and a communication will be sent to you directly detailing the changes to your registration.
Can I make changes to my schedule?
Continuing student registration will re-open as planned on July 27
th
. On that day, you will be able to add, drop, or swap classes as normal. This will allow you some time to review your schedule and the available classes before making any changes.
What should I do if I have questions?
Thank you all for patience and understanding during this time. UCONN remains committed to providing an excellent education to all of our students, and we firmly believe that such an education can be provided while observing essential safety precautions.
Sincerely,
Gregory Bouquot
University Registrar
Please note: Most Learning Community courses will be listed as Hybrid/Blended (HB). Individual instructors will decide whether to teach the class in-person, hybrid, or via distance learning depending on how many LC members are living on campus, along with other important considerations.
