Achieving Academic ExcellenceDid you take any Advanced Placement (AP) tests?* Yes No UConn provides transfer credit for AP coursework, providing a certain score is achieved on the exam. If a credit-bearing score is earned, you will earn credit for a UConn course and a "T" (for transfer) in place of a grade will show on your UConn transcript. AP courses do not impact UConn GPA.Required* I understand that I must send my AP scores to UConn Admissions ASAP, if I have not already.

Yes No UConn Early College Experience (ECE) is a concurrent enrollment program that allows high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through ECE is equivalent to the same course at UConn, and therefore accepted ECE courses impact UConn GPA. The School of Business generally recommends students accept courses where a grade of a "B" or higher was earned, and reject courses where a grade of a "B-" or lower was earned.Required* I understand that I will have until the start of my second semester to make a decision on whether I want to "accept" or "reject" each course, and accepted grades will impact my GPA directly. Your advisor will share instructions with you during your first semester as to how to submit your decisions through Nexus. Please list any ECE courses you took and the grade you earned as best you can remember. If you have not received your grade yet just write "?" in its place. Please list all courses even if you don't plan on accepting the credits (School of Business recommends courses earning a "B" or better be accepted, while courses with grades of a "B-" or lower are rejected).*Example: HIST 1400, A or NRE 1000E, ? - you should be able to see your ECE courses if you run your unofficial UConn transcript (instructions here). Did you complete college coursework at another institution? (community college or other university)*Sometimes high schools have dual enrollment programs where you can earn college credit through a local institution.

If credit-bearing, you will earn UConn credit and a "T" (for transfer) in place of a grade will show on your UConn transcript. Transfer courses do not impact UConn GPA.Required* I understand that I must send all official transcripts to UConn Admissions ASAP, if I have not already. Review information on the UConn Admissions transfer credit website. If any of the concurrent courses were Math, we recommend you save all syllabi and materials as most Math courses require further review by the Math Department.

How serious are you about pursuing this field?*It is rare for Business majors to pursue these programs. As such, the School of Business does not have access to many of the required science courses as they are reserved for science majors coming through orientation, so it will be a challenge to get these courses into your schedule for your first term. Just thinking about it, I need to do more research, and may not want to jump into heavy science in my first term Fairly serious, I've started to do some research into the profession, and I can handle one science course in my first term Very serious, I have done the research and it is 100% my goal to pursue this path Have you taken the Math Placement Exam (MPE) yet?*While this exam will not place you into, or out of, any math courses required by the School of Business, it will help you to feel confident in the content and format of the MATH courses you are required to take.
