Scheduling Conflicts

Scheduling Conflicts

Please check your current academic schedule. A scheduling or time conflict can happen if a language support course overlaps with one of your academic courses. If an overlap exists, you will need to get a letter from either the professor of your UCONN course saying that it is okay to leave the class early or a letter from your language support course instructor saying that it is okay to arrive to the class late. This letter should be brought to the Registrar’s Office to get the Time Conflict approved. Please notify a UCAELI staff member when there is a time conflict.
