Registration information for Undergraduate Storrs Students

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.

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.

There are courses that have number of seats that 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. 

Schedule of Classes link will allow you to view which sections of a course have reserved capacity and to which students it applies. While the course catalog link will allow you to determine whether or not you have met the requirements needed to enroll in the course. After checking your eligibility in the course catalog, if you think you meet the requirements, please call the Registrar's office at 860-486-3331 or e-mail: registrar@uconn.edu. If you don't meet the requirement, you need to obtain permission number from the instructor or the department.

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.

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.

To check the distance between class locations, consult the map here: Campus Map

Use the zoom feature to find the classroom buildings.

You can view and print your own schedule 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.

Try to find another course that you could take this semester.  However, if it seems very important to take a class that is full, you may 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.
