When will Registration begin? |
Fall 2008 Undergraduate registration begins on March 24 and runs through May 2 . Registration appointment start dates and times for individual students will be between March 24 (for Seniors with the most earned credits) and April 11. It will then close for Orientation/Registration of new students and re-open on July 9 and be available through, September 8, 2008.
University's course numbering system is changing, beginning with Summer 2008. We will be using the new 4-digit course numbers for Fall registration. Information on the new numbers, including new-to-old and old-to-new conversion tables can be found at http://web.uconn.edu/courserenumbering/
To prepare for registration, be sure you have done what is necessary to prevent bars on your schedule.
To access your class schedule, appointment time, information on registration bars, course offerings, and more, log on to the Student Administration System.

How do I use the Student Administration System? |
| Registration information -- including your class schedule, appointment time, information on any registration bars, course offerings, and more -- is available on the Student Administration System website: http://www.peoplesofthelp.uconn.edu/studentindex.html |
What if I forgot my password? |
| 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 do this also 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. |
What should I do about a "time conflict"? |
| 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. |
What is meant by "reserved capacity "? |
| A certain number of seats are reserved for a specific population of students such as honors, specific majors, etc. If you get an error messsage stating that the course is on "reserved capacity" and you are unable to add the course, please use the following links to find out what restrictions have been applied to the course.

How can I register for independent study? |
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.

Will I have time to get to my next class? |
There is a 10 to 15 minute passing time built into the class schedule. The typical Monday, Wednesday, Friday class lasts 50 minutes. The typical Tuesday, Thursday class lasts 75 minutes.
