Every UCONN student is assigned an advisor according to major—either a University professor in your admitted major or a professional advisor in the Advising Center.

Advisors will work with students to plan, problem solve, and explore interests and majors. Advisors are also a contact for providing information regarding the multitude of available campus resources, including The Source for Active Learning (tutoring), the Center for Career Development, the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD), the Mental Health Resource Center, and more.

You will find the name and phone number of your assigned advisor on your “Student Center Homepage” in the Student Administration System.

Students who are interested in Study Abroad may want to talk about their options with one of the advisors in the Advising Center as they make their decisions and before working with the Study Abroad office in Storrs. Transfer students may want to talk with an advisor in the Advising Center regarding their transfer credits to UCONN.

Students often talk with their academic advisor about selecting a major and about developing a semester-by-semester graduation plan for completing their degree.

Advisors also encourage students to visit The Major Experience for more details regarding UConn schools, colleges, majors, courses, and more.
