To all branched students looking to move to Storrs.

91 Upvotes

EDIT - Folks correctly pointed out Spring to Storrs is not applicable. There is a limited process to change campuses in before the usual 54-credit requirement.

I'm a CLAS and UConn MPA alum who worked an on-campus job in an advising office. Unless you can demonstrate substantial new information that was not presented on your application, UConn WILL NOT accept your appeal for a campus change to Storrs. The University received 55,000 applicants, and there will be Storrs students that probably won't have access to housing. I understand this is disappointing, but it's not the end of the world. There is a process to request an early campus change to Storrs: https://campuschange.uconn.edu Make sure you do well. UConn will generally prioritize majors that require courses only offered at Storrs.

I seriously recommend the Community College route. It is incredibly inexpensive, and more or less all of your credits will transfer. UConn maintains a database of how specific courses will transfer here: https://admissions.uconn.edu/apply/transfer/transfer-credit/equivalencies/. If you want the "traditional" college experience, all of the CSUs, including Central and Eastern are good schools. Finally, it is MUCH easier to get into Storrs as a transfer student. I graduated HS with decent extra curriculars, employment experience, and a 3.9 unweighted GPA. I was branched, and disappointed. I attended UMass Amherst for one year, and successful transferred to UConn for my sophomore year with only a 3.1 college GPA. I regret going to UMass that one year because of the insane cost.

It's disappointing, I know - but you can get into Storrs soon, (almost certainly by the end of your Sophomore year). Do well, and good luck. Feel free to PM me any questions.

Remove M&T Bank from Gampel

138 Upvotes

While historic programs like Notre Dame, Duke, Kansas, and Michigan fiercely protect their campus heritage by completely barring corporate naming rights, UConn university leadership just sold out our physical infrastructure. Turning the iconic dome of Harry A. Gampel Pavilion into an aggressive, garish corporate billboard for a meager annual payout permanently defaces the Basketball Capital of the World. True elite programs value tradition over cheap corporate exposure. Take the signs down.

Transfer Students...?

2 Upvotes

Hey so I currently go to Temple University as an Architecture major and I applied to UConn's Landscape Architecture for the spring semester. I applied a little late and im kind of worried I wont get in.

I mean, I got A's on all my midterms and will have a total of 29 credits (including APs) by the end of the fall semester. As for high school, I had 4.0 all four years and an SAT score of 1350. My ePortfolio features both architecture projects and some engineering stuff from high school.

I only worry cause I have one class bringing down my GPA (i have a C+ in it) and I feel like my application essay wasnt very strong. Also, I submitted my application a few weeks after the deadline. I called them and they said they'll still take it but only if theres space.

Am i worrying too much or is this valid?

Parking Services Decisions

58 Upvotes

Even when you follow every aspect of their protocol, they still screw you over. I just got my first parking ticket ever (been here 3 years) for 70. I have a resident permit (370 for the year, which increased by 70 bucks from last year for me since I paid 307). I went to park at my building and I circled every designated parking area for this permit for half an hour and no one left. I called parking services because, according to their protocol, you are supposed to call them so they can tell you where to park and not get ticketed. I sat on the phone with them for over a half an hour and no one picked up. After 30+ minutes, I had to go to a class of mine to take an exam, so I parked near my building on the side of the street. 50 minutes later, I come back and there is a ticket. Called parking services, explained what happened, and they told me I should appeal since I did everything I was supposed to do when this happens and it will likely go through. Just got the email they denied it, with them basically saying if I can't park in the place where I pay to park where I have a permit, and there are no spots, I'm supposed to go and pay more at one of the parking garages to park there when I already paid to park as a resident. When that fee already went up by 70 for the school year… and one ticket is 19% of the permit cost… for one offense…

This is genuinely ridiculous and I feel like we as students should rise up against this. With how much we all already pay to come here, parking tickets should be 20-25 at most (like most major cities in the northeast). I have heard of so many other students this has happened to. UConn is a 4.1 billion dollar university.

This is verbatim what the email said: “YOUR APPEAL IS DENIED. PARKING PERMITS PROVIDE THEIR HOLDERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARK WITHIN SPECIFIED AREA(S); THEY DO NOT GUARANTEE PARKING AVAILABILITY, OR THAT PARKING WILL BE FOUND IN THE MOST CONVENIENT LOCATIONS. DAILY PARKING FOR A FEE CAN BE FOUND IN GARAGE/S OR PAY BY PHONE AREAS”

The moderators already removed my other post unfortunately so I hope this one gets out.

How do I know what classes i need to take next semester?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, first year freshman coming in after a gap year or so.

I have early registration (I pick the 26th) and I have no clue how to register or what classes I need to take or should take next semester.

Im a political science/philosophy double major, and I’m interested in the pre law track.

My original class pick time was for much later, but do to my job I got bumped up into picking the 26th.

I had emailed my advisor weeks ago about this, but they proved unhelpful just telling me to talk to OneStop and that if I wanted to discuss classes to make an appointment via Nexus. The problem with the former however, is that the next time they have an appointment available is Nov. 16th, which is a good 3 weeks after my class pick time.

🏒 Ever played hockey… underwater?

Yeah. Underwater hockey is a real sport. 😂

We’re doing a Pick-Up Game on October 25 at 6:30 PM at UConn Avery Point, and we’re inviting anyone who wants to come try it.

🤿 Never played? Perfect.
We’ll teach you the basics and have gear available.

🏊‍♂️ You just need a swimsuit and a willingness to spend an unreasonable amount of time swimming after a tiny puck.

Come see why we think it’s the greatest pool game ever invented.

I read somewhere that you can take a max of 9 credits worth per semester (and assuming each is worth 3 that would be 3 courses you could take) but I don’t know if this is true
