Non-Degree Application and Registration

To enroll in non-degree courses, you must complete the Online Application Form. You will receive a confirmation email that your application was submitted successfully.

Your application will be processed in the order in which it was received; you will receive an email about the status of your application (check your SPAM folder). If you do not receive a status email after two business days, you may check the status of your application by calling the UConn Hartford Office of Student Services at (959) 200-3743.

The turn-around time for applications varies. Please submit your application as early as possible to allow ample time for review prior to course registration.

Successful applicants should follow the subsequent steps.

As a first-time or returning student, you will receive a NetID, which is your unique username. Your NetID provides you access to:

• UConn email
• Student Administration System
• HuskyCT (for online classes)

First-time UConn students

• You will receive an email at your personal email address indicating that your NetID has been created. Once you’ve received this confirmation you will need to activate your NetID and create a password.

Returning UConn students

• You will receive an email reminding you what your NetID is. You may need to reset your password before logging in to the Student Administration System.

If you have difficulties contact the UITS Help Center at 860-486-4357 and they will be able to assist you. For more information on your NetID, please see NetID Frequently Asked Questions.

All non-degree students have access to the following functions in the Student Administration System:

1. Register for, drop, and swap courses during open registration
2. View and print your class schedule, final grades, and unofficial transcript
3. Review your financial account and any holds placed on your student record
4. Pay for your course(s) with an e-check or credit card
5. Update your personal information, including address, telephone number, and personal email address
6. Request official transcripts

For detailed tutorials on each function above, please visit Student Administration System Help. Also please note that if you are a new non-degree student, you may not be able to access the Student Administration System for 24 hours.

There may be a hold on your account that blocks you from registering for courses. The most common holds are Bursar’s Holds for overdue balances or Advising Holds based on previous academic experience (dismissal, balance forward, etc.). You should take steps to resolve any holds on your account as soon as possible. You can check your holds in the Student Administration System (Instructions).

Email sswstudentservices@uconn.edu to set up time to speak over the phone or meet virtually to discuss what course(s) you should register for. An OSAS staff member will need to provide you with a permission number to the course(s) so that you are able to register.

Non-degree registration opens at 9:00 a.m. on the first day of non-degree registration for each semester. (Employees using a tuition waiver must wait until the second day of courses to register.) See the Application and Registration Dates section above for the registration dates for upcoming terms. At that time you will be able to log in to the Student Administration System and add courses to your schedule. Tutorials for adding, swapping, and dropping courses are available at Student Administration System Help. Additional information pertaining to registration for courses including error messages and obtaining permission numbers can be found on the Registration Help page. Class registration results in automatic generation of a bill.

You can enroll in additional classes or swap courses during the open registration period. You can also drop a course if you are enrolled in multiple courses for the semester.

Fall/Spring: You may make changes to your registration through StudentAdmin during the Add/Drop Period. After the Add/Drop Period, all requests to withdraw from a class must be made via email to hartford.registrar@uconn.edu. To cancel or withdraw from ALL registered courses, you must complete a complete the Voluntary Separation Notification form. It is your responsibility to be aware of the published deadlines regarding registration and refunds.

Payments are due within three days of registration. If unpaid, a late fee will be assessed. If you are unable to pay for the course(s) or choose not to take the course(s), you must formally drop the course(s) within the published refund deadlines. Failure to properly drop the course(s) or make payment will result in referral to a collection agency.

Payment for your course(s) is processed through the University’s Student Administration System. Detailed instructions are available on the Bursar’s website. You may also pay by check with the Hartford Campus Bursar or by check or cash at the Storrs Bursar’s Office.
