Please reach out to the program or your UCS faculty advisor if you are in need of any assistance. You may also find helpful information on our website urban.uconn.edu regarding degree requirements, course offerings, internship, and employment opportunities as well as information regarding the Urban Semester Program.

We also want to welcome back our returning majors and minors. We hope you all had the opportunity to unwind and enjoy time with your friends and loved ones.

If you are Senior planning to graduate in May, please remember that if you have not yet applied to graduate you must do so via the Universities Student Admin Webpage  Information regarding this process is available via the university’s Apply to Graduate webpage. Students are encouraged to do so asap but no later than the Registrar’s deadline to ensure that the university has sufficient time to process your request and to work out any potential issues.

As part of the graduating process you must also submit a Final Plan of Study in the first four weeks of the semester you plan to graduate. If you run into any issues, please reach out to your UCS faculty advisor or to maria.winnick@uconn.edu.

We wish you all the best this semester.
