Advising Support Centers
One University: Many Schools and Colleges
Undergraduate students at the University of Connecticut are enrolled in one of nine schools and colleges, the Academic Center for Exploratory Students (ACES), the Bachelor of General Studies Program, or as non-degree students. The Undergraduate Catalog includes information on the academic policies and regulations of each school and college.
Responsibilities for advising students are shared by faculty and professional staff, with each school or college defining specifically how those responsibilities are shared.
Each school or college as well as each regional campus has an office or center with responsibility for undergraduate advising. These centers/offices serve as a resource to students, faculty and staff on a wide range of advising matters, including:
- Permission to register for excess credit or add or drop a course
- Requesting a late withdrawal from a course
- Academic standing and dismissal process
- Requesting a general education substitution
