Frequently Asked Questions: Course WorkHow do I sign up for classes?You will meet with an academic advisor and register for classes at new student Orientation. Remember to review the Placement Website, the Learning Community Website, and the New Student Technology Tutorial before attending Orientation. The technology tutorial will introduce you to UConn’s Student Administration System so that you will know how to register for classes during your Orientation session. Be sure to let your advisor know what Learning Communities may interest you. How do I register for classes if I don't attend an Orientation session?New students who do not attend an Orientation session will register for classes on Sunday, August 24 at 11 a.m. Can I take classes between semesters?Yes you can. UConn offers credit courses during the summer and winter. Visit the Summer Session website for more information on course listings and registration requirements. We recommend that you check with your academic advisor before taking summer or winter courses. Your advisor will verify if your selected courses will fit into your future plan of study. Where can I find the Undergraduate Catalog of UConn courses?You can view the Undergraduate Course Catalog online. You will receive a paper version of the catalog at new student Orientation. How much time will I spend studying outside of the classroom?Although there will be differences among students based on their respective majors, courses, and other commitments, professors expect students to invest 2 to 3 hours outside of class per week for every hour inside of class. Some students may require less, but some will require more. Where can I buy my textbooks?The UConn Co-op Bookstore is your campus destination for all textbooks and course materials, art supplies and computer needs. How do I change my selected UConn major?To change your intended UConn major before the start of classes, send your request via postal mail to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Your letter should include your name, address, the student ID number that was listed on your letter of Admission, and your signature. If possible, you should submit your request before attending New Student Orientation. If you wish to change your major after the start of classes, you need to go to your specific school or college. Contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at: Office of Undergraduate Admissions If you still need to have a question answered, you can submit a question online.
