Taking Courses Elsewhere

Dismissed students may elect to take courses at an external institution in preparation for their readmission to the University. The following rules apply:

  • For transfer back to the University of Connecticut any coursework taken at an external institution must be accredited by the University.
  • Go to the Transfer Admissions website for rules pertaining to the accreditation process, as well as for information on how courses offered at Connecticut degree-granting institutions will transfer to the University.
  • Upon readmission, courses approved for transfer will be posted to the student’s degree record. Please note that grades do not follow transferred courses, so the student’s University of Connecticut GPA will not be affected by the addition of transfer courses.
  • Students who are considering taking courses at an external institution in preparation for their return to the University of Connecticut are strongly encouraged to meet with a non-degree advisor to discuss their plans for readmission.
