University sponsored plan. Insurance information and enrollment for the

Support for Academic Success
The University provides many services to support the academic success of
its students. Several of those programs are described below.
Academic Advising
Academic advising at UConn supports the University’s Mission by helping
every student grow intellectually and become a contributing member of the
state, national, and world communities. Advising contributes to the mission
by providing exceptional support and resources that empower students to
develop and implement sound educational plans and to develop greater
identity, agency, and purpose as they identify and reach their goals.
Academic advising is a critical component of the educational experience,
developed through collaborative mentoring relationships between students
and advisors. With leadership, support, and guidance from the Office of
Undergraduate Advising, undergraduate advising programs are administered
by advising centers directors in schools and colleges in Storrs as well as by
student and academic services directors at the regional campuses.
Academic advisors support students as they seek to meet their academic
goals and complete degree requirements. Students and advisors should both
know the academic requirements published in the University Catalog and
departmental plans of study. Although the advisor is responsible for making
appropriate academic recommendations, the student is responsible for their
own academic progress.
Meeting regularly with an advisor promotes academic success by helping to
ensure educational goals align with post-graduation goals and aspirations.
It also provides an opportunity for the student to discuss success-related
opportunities, identify challenges and determine necessary campus
resources and next steps. Effective advising includes:
• Supporting students in a process of self-assessment to identify their
individual strengths, talents, and interests
• Empowering students to develop meaningful educational plans,
including relevant experiential learning and co-curricular activities
• Knowing and understanding University requirements, school/college
requirements, and major requirements
• Gaining familiarity with the University’s curricular, co-curricular,
and career resources
• Being accessible on a reg
