GRADUATE  PROGRAMS

Yes, it is required that applicants upload unofficial transcripts for all schools attended from their bachelor's degree and beyond.

Official transcripts are only required upon admission. Unofficial transcripts are used for application review by both The Graduate School and the programs.

TOEFL scores will only be accepted when sent electronically through ETS. Use the codes listed below:

• • The TOEFL code for UConn Storrs is 3915.
  • The TOEFL code for the UConn Health Center is 3931.
  • PTE and Duolingo test scores are required to be sent to our University electronically directly by the testing company used in order for scores to be accepted as official.
  • Your IELTS testing center may require your UConn Graduate Application ID to request your official IELTS to be sent to our university.  If this is the case, you can find this information on your Application Status Portal.
  • IELTS test scores are required to be sent to our University electronically directly by the testing company used in order for scores to be accepted as official. When sending official IELTS scores please use the following information if you are prompted to provide it:

• • • Name of Department Head: Kent Holsinger
    • Email ID: gradadmissions@uconn.edu
    • Contact #: (860) 486-3617

The Graduate School does not require a third-party credential evaluation, however we accept evaluations from the following services:

• • NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) or
  • AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators)

If your degree is a 3 year bachelor’s degree from India, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka or certain other countries, we will not consider the degree to be equivalent with a 4 year US bachelor’s degree. This is our policy, even if the degree has been evaluated as a 4 year degree by an outside credential evaluator that is a member of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) or AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators).

• Upload individual/yearly mark sheets or transcripts (courses and grades, not hours) for students who complete their education in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka.
• If you completed a degree and it is not indicated on your transcript, then we require a copy of your degree to be uploaded to your application. The most common reason for delayed consideration of applications is failure to upload all required transcripts (and degrees from international institutions).
• To try and minimize international mail delays after submitting your application, The Graduate School recommends sending official transcripts and degrees from each college/university you have attended.  (Please note official transcripts and degrees are not required to be sent to The Graduate School until after an offer of admission has been made.)  The documents should be mailed to:

University of Connecticut
The Graduate School
438 Whitney Road Ext. U-1152
Storrs, CT 06269-1152

Please note The Graduate School will accept:

• International transcripts electronically from WES (World Education Services), IEE (International Education Evaluations), and ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators).*
• Transcripts and degrees from China that are verified by either CHESICC (China Higher Education Students Information and Career Center), or CDGDC (China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center).*
• Transcripts and degrees from India that are verified by TrueCopy.*

* While CHESICC, CDGDC, TrueCopy, and electronic evaluations from WES, IEE, and ECE are options for sending official transcripts and degrees, original transcripts and degrees are also accepted.

Some but not all. See above.

Applicants are asked to send their final official transcript showing degree conferral once their degree has been completed.  This information is contained in their matriculation letter if applicable to the applicant.

Yes, recommendations can be edited, resent, and/or added.

Recommendations are a program requirement so I would suggest the applicants contact their intended program.

No, we only accept evaluations from members of NACES or AICE.  Otherwise we do them in-house.

They should have the official scores sent to our office.

Once the application meets The Graduate School requirements, required unofficial transcripts uploaded, English Proficiency met, the application is forwarded to the program for review and decision.

No, a second application would be required.
