Students taking courses through UConn Early College Experience will see the UConn courses taken in high school as part of their non-degree coursework on their UConn transcript. Students will have the opportunity to move the courses to their undergraduate careers when they meet with their academic advisors. Please be sure that the UConn ECE instructors at your high school submit course grades in a timely manner through the University's Student Administration System.

The University of Connecticut has partnered with Connecticut's State Department of Education Alliance Schools to launch the UConn Alliance Pathway, an initiative to identify high-achieving underrepresented students attending an Alliance School and provide enhanced support to pave the pathway to enrollment at UConn.

Eligible high school seniors identified through the UConn Alliance Pathway may opt in to receive enhanced support throughout the application process including access to in-person and virtual application events, FAFSA completion workshops, information on the range of support opportunities available to them throughout the college search process, and details on their potential for admission. Eligible applicants may also receive an application fee waiver.

In 1974, Congress passed the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment. FERPA applies both to K-12 and postsecondary educational records, although there is one key difference in the way that the law applies:

In K-12 the rights under FERPA belong to the student's parents until the student turns 18.
In postsecondary education the rights belong to the student, regardless of age or dependent status.
For more information regarding FERPA, or to obtain a release form, please visit UConn's FERPA website.

It is voluntary for a student to provide a Social Security Numbers (SSN) on the application. However, providing an SSN will aid the University in processing the application and enrollment. If a student matriculates, it is mandatory to provide an SSN to the University to process financial aid forms and for tax purposes.

If, through the process of examining a student's credentials put forth for review for admission and/or certification of completion of educational attainment, credentials are found to be in question, the following actions will be taken:

• If not yet admitted: The applicant's record will immediately be placed on hold for further verification.
• If admitted/enrolled: Registration holds will be placed to prevent future registration during further verification.
• Further verification: Admissions will contact the issuing educational institution to verify credentials and/or completion of educational attainment. Should educational institution decline to provide direct confirmation, student will be required to direct such institutions to release records directly to the Admissions Office.

Upon learning of falsification or inability to verify credentials, Admissions will take the following action:

• For applicants, Admissions may either leave the applicant's record incomplete or cancel the application for that term.
• For enrollees/admits, Admissions will rescind admission as the contingencies/basis for admission where either unfounded or unmet. Enrollees should not be allowed to continue enrollment and may have the option to apply again for a future term.

Admissions will report all attempts to deceive the admission process to the Office of Community Standards.

Upon confirmation of successful completion of education attainment, all holds will be removed and the student may proceed with application or enrollment.
