Registration for Classes

All students can view and print their own schedules via any computer and printer connected to the internet.  Using your log-in ID and password, you will have access to your up-to-the-moment class schedule printed out on a grid.

The Undergraduate Catalog is available on line in both HTML and PDF. The HTML version contains many helpful navigational links.
The PDF document is available to read, download, and print. One may use it in its entirety or select only the sections needed.
Complete descriptions of all undergraduate coures are included in both versions.

From the initial log-in page without logging on to the Student Administration System, you can find all of these options:

• Enter Self Service as a Guest and choose Class Search to find open courses by semester offered and by campus. The new search feature allows users to search by any word in the course description or by General Education Content Area.
  
  
• Enter Self Service as a Guest and choose Browse Course Catalog and find a display of all active courses and when they are typically offered. Link there to find more details and view all class sections offered by semester and campus.
  
  
• Find View a snapshot of the Class Schedule to find access to nightly snapshots of scheduled classes.

Excess Credits To register for more than the maximum credits listed below, the student must obtain permission from the student's advisor and academic dean.  Excess credit authorization forms are available at the departments or they may be downloaded from a link at this site: Online Forms.

Check to see if there is a Wait List associated with the class. Try to find another course that you could take during semester. 

However, if it seems very important to take a class that is full, you may try to contact the instructor or department that offers the class and ask for permission to over enroll.  If you are successful, that department will issue a permission number to use to override the system and enroll in the course.

If you forget your password and try to log on multiple times with incorrect passwords the system will lock you out after 6 tries.

To reactivate a locked account, call the UITS Help Desk (486-HELP or 486-4357).

You will be able to obtain a new (randomly generated) password automatically by e-mail if you link to "Forgot your password?". The system will ask you for your password hint. When you enter this response, a new password will be generated and sent to your UConn Campus e-mail address ( so you have to be sure your campus e-mail account is functional and forwarded if you don't use it regularly).

You may also do this by calling the Registrar's Office, Monday thru Friday, from 8am through 5pm at 860-486-3331. If you come to the Wilbur Cross Building, the staff of either the Student Services Desk or the Registrar's Office can help you.

Students wishing to study a topic independently, for credit, must find an instructor to supervise the project. The instructor and the student then agree on the number of credits the student may earn.  The student must complete an Independent Study Authorization Form, have it signed, and deliver it to the Registrar. The form is available through a link at: Online Forms.

Without special permission, students may not register for or earn toward the degree more than six credits each semester in any one or combination of independent study, special topics, and variable topics courses. To increase this limit, students must consult with their advisor and get the permission of their academic dean.

Please refer to the Academic Calendar for the registration dates for each semester.

In order to register for a class whose time overlaps with another class for which you have already registered, you must obtain a note from the instructor of the second class indicating allowances for the conflict to be arranged. It is then brought to the Registrar's office so class can be added. Permission numbers will not allow you to register for a time conflict.
