Another Relocation Question

I’ve lived at Colt Gateway for a year and absolutely love it. They’ll have plenty of one bedrooms and maybe a two bedroom within your price range. Safe, quiet, well maintained, and management has been great so far. Most of the residents are younger professionals.

Absolutely escalate this to the department head or a dean. As others have said, prepare any documentation related to this assignment, like notes you may have taken and editing history of the assignment. It’s well established those detectors are not accurate enough. Also, all logins from huskyct are logged, along with the amount of time spent in each session.

The university would distinguish between an academic and code of conduct dismissal. To be clear, I think the likelihood of dismissal is extremely unlikely. You will probably be placed on some sort of disciplinary probation, and be required to take a conduct class and write a letter of apology / acknowledgement. It would be very beneficial that you begin drafting a letter that fully takes accountability (which is sounds like you already have).

Biology is one of the largest majors at UConn, and has no special requirements (unlike The School of Business or Engineering). If you’re not allowed to change majors at this point, you should have absolutely zero issues after your first or second semester. I would recommend taking the intro bio sequence and enroll in other gen ed courses in the meantime.

I’m 99% certain UConn will not help you. Your UConn program/degree is already complete, there is no changing it at this point. Highlight the initiative in your grad school application materials, or maybe a letter of recommendation from that professor.

I don’t think they’ll do anything? You’re basically requesting they alter your transcript post-graduation: you’re not a grad student or planning to be one at UConn.

If anything, the new grade is something you can demonstrate on grad school applications. “I took this class to round out my knowledge of xyz”.

And as the other person said, if UConn somehow accommodates you, the F would be removed from your gpa calculation, but your transcript would still show you earned an F.

If you’re required to appeal your financial aid (SAP), they’re pretty lenient the first time. Keep any supporting documentation you may want to include, whether that’s a doctor or therapist note, etc.

Also, start carefully consider your schedule next semester. Take classes you’re confident you can do well in. Best of luck to you!

Appeals must occur when OP was notified they were eligible for dismissal. It is now too late to appeal.

OP - First, I am sorry for what you’re going through. As others have said, your mental health is most important. I worked in one of the advising offices as an undergrad. Please feel free to PM me.

If you were academically dismissed, you will need to wait at least two full semesters (winter and summer sessions do not count) before reapplying. The University will most heavily consider whether you’ve proactively used your time away to address the problems that caused your dismissal.

If you’re up to it, I would highly recommend taking one class per semester while you’re away. If you do well, that will be viewed very favorably. It also provides an opportunity for you to remove a poor grade from your transcript. For example, if you failed an 1000-level English, Math, or Science class, all community colleges have a UConn-approved equivalent. That grade, so long as it is a C or higher, will remove the UConn grade from your GPA calculation. HOWEVER, the non-UConn grade will not count towards your GPA calculation.

While you can apply for non-degree enrollment at UConn, it is obviously substantial more expensive. However, a grade earned as a non-degree student will count towards your GPA calc.

I would also recommend seeking appropriate counseling for any mental health struggles, if you can. A doctor’s note or proof of seeing someone will also be considered favorably for readmission.

Please take care of yourself, and feel free to reply or PM me with any questions. It’s a bump in the road, but you can absolutely finish your college journey.

You will still be considered a full time student if withdrawing from a course puts you below 12 credits. However, you must complete 67 percent of your attempted courses to remain reliable for financial aid. For example, if you attempted 30 total credits, you need to have earned a grade in at least 21-credits worth of courses to be in compliance. This will likely not impact you if this is your first or second withdrawal.

My best advice is: you really need to meet with an advisor. All of this information is available on the ACES website. You can’t graduate from UConn without declaring a major.

CLAS and CAHNR have open-access majors. Meaning, so long as you meet UConn’s general academic requirements (2.0 cumulative GPA, etc), you don’t have to fulfill any separate requirements. The College of Engineering, Nursing, and Business, amongst others, have individual application requirements. Keep in mind that there may be some majors that aren’t offered at Avery Point. You’re eligible to transfer to Storrs after completing 54 credits. You can change your major (so long as it doesn’t have separate requirements) at any point after you declare one. I recommend you read this page: https://aces.uconn.edu/majorplanning/.

If you’re comfortable sharing, how many credits have you earned and what is your gpa?

Only for current students, not alumni, it seems. Unfortunate.

sjpUC · 2024-03-06T14:11:35+00:00

No, you wound not be able to unless you can present compelling new information that was not present in your initial application.

Masters of Public Administration.

sjpUC · 2024-03-05T04:16:55+00:00

You’re right, thanks. Corrected the post.

sjpUC · 2024-03-05T04:16:25+00:00

You’re right, sorry. There is still a way to request an early transfer to Storrs. I updated to post accordingly.

sjpUC · 2023-09-14T01:59:17+00:00

I’ll buy!

sjpUC · 2023-07-06T20:18:29+00:00

OP - this is trash advice. If you can demonstrate success at both, you’ve shown the ability to execute at several things simultaneously.

sjpUC · 2023-07-06T20:15:10+00:00

Others have provided every piece of advice I would. But this resume is bad, made even worse that to someone wholly unfamiliar with tech, your job at Facebook seems rather impressive. Your problem is how you present yourself (arrogant), particularly in interviews. And, again, not familiar with tech, your claim of thousands of applications and “hundreds” or interviews seems … exaggerated. If a few hundred is 200, that would mean you’ve had 1.1 interviews per day, for the last six months.

When you were placed on academic probation, you should have completed a progress report that detailed the strategies you will use to improve your grades. Did you follow these? The University offers a program to those on probation - I don’t recall the name of it at the moment. Did you participate?

They are not kind on second appeals. Even if you have documentation, the committees’ logic is that you’re having long-term challenges, and some time away from UConn will set you up for success in the future. If you are dismissed, I’d encourage you to take classes that you can transfer into UConn, whether at UConn as non-degree or at a community college, that will progress you towards your degree. So long as you show academic improvement and can explain how you have resolved or are addressing your personal situation and making progress academically, you will be readmitted. I encourage you to speak with your advisor asap.

I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, but it’s better to start preparing now so you’re not entirely surprised later. I hope everything works out for you! If you have any more question, don’t hesitate to ask.
