Making Changes

All students wanting to change majors should consult their academic dean and students who are in College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should contact the CLAS Academic Services Center. If, however, you are also changing to a new school or college in the process, pick up a Petition for School or College Change at the Dean's Office or Office of the Registrar, Wilbur Cross Building. Obtain the appropriate Dean's signature and submit the form to the Dean's Office of the school/college to which the student is changing. The School Change Form may also be downloaded at this site: Online Forms.

Address Changes can be made via the Student Administration System or by coming into the Registrar's Office. Changes can also be made by mail if you send a letter of request to the Office of the Registrar, Unit 4077G, 233 Glenbrook Road, Storrs, CT 06269. You must include your printed name, signature, student ID number and both your old and new addresses. You may also fax a request that includes the above information to: (860) 486-0062.

Diplomas will be mailed to the address the student provides on their diploma application.  Students can also change their Diploma Address by accessing the Student Administration System. The address change instruction is located under Student Center Help.

A change of advisor would be done in the academic department offering a student's major. If an advisor is no longer available, the department will appoint a new one. If a student has changed school or major, the new department will appoint a new advisor.

If you make this sort of change, have your "advisor's bar" lifted by the appropriate department in order to use student administration system for registration.

University policy regarding catalog year requirements is as follows:

• Undergraduate students must meet the requirements as they were at the time the student entered that school or college.
• Students who do a school change must meet the requirements as they were at the time of the school change.
• Students who leave the University and then return must meet the requirements as they were when they returned.

However, all undergraduate students have the option to follow a more current catalog.

To see if a more current catalog would be to your advantage, you are encouraged to run a Degree Progress report using the Quick What if Report through your web access. Your catalog year is printed at the beginning of your Degree Progress/Advisement Report.

If you decide to change your catalog, use the Catalog Change Form on this site: Online Forms
