Your $400 enrollment fee reserves your spot in UConn's incoming class and covers the cost of Orientation. No additional fees are required.

Orientation is required of first-time, degree-seeking students at all University of Connecticut campuses. This applies to both first-year and transfer students. Students who choose not to sign up for an Orientation session will have their admission to the University canceled.

Orientation follows the rules and policies set by UConn's Student Code. Students who do not abide by the Student Code may be asked to leave Orientation and will be referred to the Office of Community Standards. Violation of the Student Code during an Orientation event could affect a new student's admission to the University.

If you are a first-year or transfer student considering a change of major, we recommend making the change before signing up for Orientation, because Orientation dates can be specific to schools/colleges and majors. Changing your major before attending Orientation will ensure that you get the most out of your advising and class registration experiences.

If you change your major after your Orientation session is confirmed, it may be necessary to reschedule due to the school/college's availability during the Orientation session you selected to attend.

Requests for a change of major should be submitted at least two weeks prior to your Orientation session.

Here's how to request a change:

• To request a change of major before your first semester, please visit your Admissions applicant portal and complete the Admissions Decision Appeal & Change Request Form. Your applicant portal will reflect the most updated information once your request is reviewed.
• If you wish to change your major after the start of classes, please contact your school or college.

If your Orientation session is scheduled after the fee bill deadline, your fee bill must be settled prior to attending Orientation or you will not be able to participate and register for courses.

The fee bill deadlines according to the Office of the Bursar are as follows:

• Fall admits – August 1
• Spring admits – January 8

Your fee bill is considered settled if you have paid in full or if your balance will be covered by one or more of the following conditions:

1. You are paying through UConn's Installment Payment Plan and your balance is current.
2. You have been granted a deferment for an outside scholarship.
3. You have finished the financial aid process with the Office of Student Financial Aid Services. Incomplete financial aid is not considered settled.

Orientation is mandatory for all first-time, degree-seeking students. There are no exceptions to this requirement, so please plan accordingly with your summer or winter plans. If you have an unexpected or significant conflict, please reach out to the Orientation staff at your campus by email.
