Your New Journey Begins Now

Each year, more than 1,200 highly qualified transfer students enroll at the University of Connecticut. Transferring from one college or university to another can be challenging. That’s why we work hard to make transferring to UConn as smooth a process as possible.

As a student thinking about or preparing to transfer to UConn, there are some things to consider. We would like to thank you for choosing UConn as your new home to learn, to grow, to thrive and most important become a part something greater.

Please note that the College of Engineering does not select the students who are offered undergraduate admission to the College of Engineering. These decisions are made by UConn’s Undergraduate Admissions department. Advising for transfer students will be conducted at new student orientation.

Common Resources for Transfer Students

Transferring Credit to UConn

In general, the University of Connecticut grants credit for courses that are:

  • Taken at a regionally accredited, degree-granting college or university;
  • Comparable in content and quality to courses offered at UConn;
  • Completed with a minimum grade of "C."

Courses that the University does not grant credit for includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Online courses in laboratory science and foreign language, including those offered in a hybrid format;
  • Pass/Fail coursework;
  • Co-op, internships, and practicum credit;
  • Precollegiate/remedial coursework;
  • College-level elementary foreign language courses if the student completed three or more years of the same foreign language in secondary school;
  • Prior coursework that was not reported at the time of application.
