COVID-19 and Graduate School operations

Due to concern about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) contagion, The Graduate School office will be closed from March 16th until further notice.  Our staff will be working remotely during this time and the best way to reach us will be through email.  We will respond as quickly as possible and may be able to schedule phone and/or video meetings as needed. 

Email | As always, feel free to email gradschool@uconn.edu with any concern, and we will get your e-mail to the right person and respond as quickly as possible.

Reception Desk | Our reception desk at the Whetten Graduate Center at the Storrs Campus is currently closed.

The COVID-19 situation continues to change very quickly. The health, safety and well-being of our community is our highest priority and continually guides our preparation, thinking, and actions. More information about COVID-19 is available at this website: https://uconn.edu/public-notification/coronavirus

The Graduate School building is closed to visitors from March 16 through April 5, 2020, and there may be a delay in receiving and responding to voicemail.
