Residency Requirement Information

The University of Connecticut considers the on-campus living experience an integral and necessary part of the total education of its students. The Residency Requirement has been developed with great consideration, as research has shown that first and second year students who live in residence halls build closer relationships with faculty, staff and their peers; become more involved; and are generally more satisfied with their overall university experience.

Meningitis Vaccination Requirement

Connecticut State law requires that any college or university student under 29 years of age residing in university owned housing be vaccinated against meningitis. Students must submit verification of the meningitis vaccination during their enrollment at the University of Connecticut.

Inclement Weather Preparation

The following recommendations should be followed when inclement weather threatens the Storrs campus.

  1. Keep doors and windows closed.
  2. Use flashlights in the event of power outages. Candles are not permitted in the residence halls and pose a fire safety hazard.
  3. Keep cell phones charged and refrain from using during the inclement weather to avoid overwhelming local cell phone towers.
  4. Use stairs. Elevators will stop operating in the event of a power outage.
  5. Check dining.uconn.edu for the most up to date information regarding dining halls.
  6. Check alert.uconn.edu.
