Guaranteed Admission (GA) Program
a. What is the GA Program?
The Guaranteed Admission Program is an agreement
between the University of Connecticut and the Connecticut Community College
system. It is designed for students who are enrolled in a Liberal
Arts transfer program at one of the Connecticut community colleges and
plan to earn a bachelor’s degree in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences and/or the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources
at the University of Connecticut.

b. How does the GA Program work?
You must formally apply for the program through your community college
transfer counselor before you have earned 16 transferable
credits. By selecting the appropriate program and courses while
enrolled at the community college, you can meet UConn requirements
at the same time as you satisfy requirements for your associate
degree. During
your last semester at the community college, as you prepare to
earn your associate degree, you will send your “Intent to Enroll” form
-- available from your community college transfer counselor --
to the University, seamlessly moving into your chosen program
at UConn.

c. Who is eligible to participate in the GA Program?

are following a Liberal Arts transfer program, and have earned
fewer than 16 credits, you are eligible for the GA Program. Former
UConn degree-seeking students are not eligible to participate
in the GA Program.

f. Will my community college courses meet University requirements at UConn?
With careful planning, the courses you complete as part of your Liberal
Arts transfer program will satisfy your University General Education Requirements,
as long as you earn at least a grade of “C” in your individual
classes. Even better, you will arrive at UConn prepared for junior/senior
level courses both in your major and related academic areas. See
