Please get in touch with me if you have any questions concerning UConn's undergraduate program, especially the Mathematics Program. Some topics most frequently asked about are:

  • Which courses are being or will be offered and by whom
  • Transfer credit evaluation
    • for students transferring to UConn from another institution
    • for students who want to take courses elsewhere in the near future
  • Advising on the appropriate math course to take
  • Catalog restrictions and prerequisites
  • Registration:
  • Thinking about being a Math major or a dual degree or double major involving a major in mathematics.
    • Information about our majors and online forms for declaring a major can be found at http://www.math.uconn.edu/Undergraduate.
      • In particular, if you are a CLAS student, you can declare your Math, Applied Math, Math-Stat or Actuarial Science major by seeing Ms Cara Light, Undergraduate Program Assistant, MSB 106, 860-486-6451, cara.light@uconn.edu.
      • Whether you are a CLAS student or not, you can also transfer into CLAS and/or declare your major for one in the Math Department by going to the college’s Program Plan Change online form at http://www.ppc.uconn.edu.
  • Thinking about a Math minor
  • Concerns or problems with your course or with your instructor
  • The Calculus Readiness Survey
  • The Calculus sequences:
    • Math 1151Q,1152Q,2130Q
    • Math 1131Q,1132Q,2110Q
    • Math 1125Q,1126Q,1132Q,2110Q
  • Technology (Calculator and/or Computer use) in our classes
  • Completing an incomplete or absent grade from last semester
