Several areas fall under the umbrella of the Office of Student Services. These areas consist of:

• Stamford Residence Life
• Student Activities
• Disability Services
• Fitness Center
• Game Room

The Office of Student Services (201) is often a good starting point if you have a question. Professionals in the Office of Student Services will do their best to assist you or direct you to the appropriate office.

The Office of Student Services can assist students with various processes. These processes include:

• Voluntarily Separating from the University (Withdrawal, Cancellation, Leave of Absence)
• Campus Change Appeals
• Readmission
• Addressing behavioral concerns in and out of the classroom
• General advocacy

Students may officially leave the University of their own volition through two different actions: withdrawal and/or cancellation of registration. Both actions are finalized and processed by the Assistant Director and Director of Student Services (at the regional campuses) and the Dean of Students (at Storrs) through the completion of a Voluntary Separation Notice (VSN) or online cancellation. Cancellation of registration takes place prior to the beginning of a semester. To officially withdraw means to terminate enrollment during a semester that is in progress; this action must be completed in person. Students may withdraw between the first day of classes and the last day before the final exam period.

Undergraduate students who have separated from the University for any reason and wish to return, will need to be readmitted through the Dean of Students Office by competing an application for readmission. The application will be submitted online and will be directed to the campus the student wishes to be readmitted to. Refer to the application for readmission for more specific information and timelines at dos.uconn.edu.

Each semester there is a campus change process. This allows a current UConn student to apply to change campuses. At Stamford, if you are interested in applying for a campus change, you will need to visit the Registrar’s Office.
