Academic Information
Registration will close for current students starting May 15th at 10:30pm and will reopen on July 22nd at 9:00am.
UConn is providing flexibility for students and its schools and colleges at the Storrs and regional campuses regarding taking spring 2020 undergraduate courses on a pass/fail basis.
Students may now elect pass/fail grading or drop a course at any time by the last day of classes (May 1), but should consult with their advisors first.
In light of current uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing,
all courses scheduled for UConn’s May session (May 11-29) will be conducted entirely online
. Decisions about the status of the first and second summer sessions will be made and communicated in coming weeks. Questions may be directed to:
summersession@uconn.edu.
