Incoming MSW Student Checklist

Your UConn NetID and Activation Code were emailed to you at the time of admission. Once you find and activate your NetID and set the password, you will be able to log in to the Student Administration System. If you need assistance with your NetID, please contact the ITS Help Center at (860) 486-4357 or by email at techsupport@uconn.edu.

ITS also offers a Technology Training, which will walk you through available technology tools and how to activate them.

Step-by-step instructions are also available if you wish to Change Your Chosen Name in UConn directories and the Microsoft 365 email system.

If you have not done so already, please consider completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

• Students who are admitted for the Summer 2025 Advanced Standing program will need to complete the FAFSA for the current academic year 2024-2025 as well as the upcoming academic year 2025-2026, if they would like to be considered for summer financial aid.
• For more information and deadlines please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid Services

The Student Technology Training is a tutorial to familiarize you with the important technology-related services that you will use frequently as a UConn student. The tutorial is divided into three parts: One – New student to-dos; Two – Before Orientation/Registration; and Three – Before Classes Begin.

Graduate students must complete a one-time online interpersonal violence prevention training. A hold is placed on a student’s registration to ensure that you meet this requirement.

Required once during your graduate career.

The University of Connecticut is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all of our students, staff, and faculty. As part of that commitment, the University now requires that all graduate students complete an online interpersonal violence prevention program titled U Got This 2!, this video-based program provides critical information about Consent, Bystander Intervention, Sexual Assault, Dating and Domestic Violence, Stalking, and more. U Got This 2! will help you better understand how vitally important these issues are to creating a safe environment and to our community expectations, and what you can do to help make your campus safer for everyone.

U Got This 2! is a 40 minute training. Upon completion, it will take 2-3 days for the hold to lift. If you have any questions, call the Graduate School at (860) 486-3617 or email gradschool@uconn.edu.

Complete your mandatory Student Health History Form through your Student Health Portal and submit the form and any attachments under “Document Upload.” The Student Health History Form must be submitted by July 1 for the Fall semester and January 1 for the Spring semester. Please contact UConn Student Health and Wellness should you have any questions on either of these steps.

Please note: This step is separate from the one that the Office of Clinical Placement Coordination will require in preparation for entering a practicum placement.

The Husky One Card is your official UConn ID, as well as your way to access a variety of services across the university, including the UConn Library, and Husky Bucks, and printing on campus. To obtain your Husky One Card, students are encouraged to take advantage of the online photo submission option. More information can be found on the One Card Office website.
