At UConn, students may provide direct access to certain portions of their education records. Students also have the ability to provide permission for certain offices at UConn to discuss records held or managed by that office and/or services provided to the student through that office. Different processes are required for each of these options.

There are currently three different options that students can grant:

• Talk – Discuss student information with University officials (Set up FERPA Designee)
• Access – View certain education records including viewing the fee bill in the Student Administration system (Set up Delegate User)
• Pay – Make payments on behalf of the student (Set up Authorized User)

Further explanation on how to permit UConn to discuss and/or share student information or records is availableonline.

All mandatory fees must be paid to support programs and services at UConn.

Every student must acknowledge and agree to the SF Responsibility Agreement prior to being able to register for classes, which states in part:

“I understand that when I enroll at the University of Connecticut (the “University”) or receive any service from the University, it is my responsibility to pay, by the scheduled due date, all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my enrollment and/or receipt of services.”

For the full SF Responsibility Agreement, please review the SF Responsibility Agreement FAQ.

For a full explanation of fees, please review the Description of Fees.

Through a partnership with the UConn Bookstore, full-time undergraduate students will be able to rent all required course materials for a flat fee of $285. This is an opt-out program, and the charge will be automatically included on students’ semester tuition fee bill.

For complete details on the Husky Book Bundle, visit bookbundle.program.uconn.eduand review the Frequently Asked Questions. Additional questions can be emailed tohuskybookbundle@uconn.edu.

Yes. All eligible students will automatically be enrolled in the Husky Book Bundle program, however students have the option to opt-out if they determine the program is not financially beneficial for them. The opt-out period begins 30 days prior to the start of the semester and ends on the 10th day of classes. The fee is due on the 11th day of classes.

Students are encouraged to delay opting-out until they receive all course syllabi and can confirm their required course materials. The fee has a later due date, allowing time to decide if the program is financially beneficial. If after reviewing the individual cost for all required materials you would still like to waive the Husky Book Bundle Fee, the link to the opt-out portal will be available on our UConn Bookstore Programs page once the opt-out period begins.

No one at UConn is allowed to provide tax advice. If you have questions when filing your taxes, consult with a tax professional.

For detailed information regarding tax liability for scholarships and grants, please review the Student Tax FAQs on the Tax & Compliance website.

United States residents for tax purposes

If your scholarship(s) or grant(s) exceed the costs of required tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment, then the excess is taxable income, which you are required to report to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on your income tax return.

Room and board, travel, insurance, and medical expenses (including student health fees) are not considered required expenses therefore, grants or scholarships that cover any of these items will likely be taxable.

International students

If you are considered a “nonresident alien” for US tax purposes, and your scholarship(s) or grant(s) exceed the costs of required tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment, then the excess is taxable income, which you are required to report to the IRS on your US income tax return. Taxable scholarship income is subject to 14% US income tax withholding unless the international student qualifies for a reduced rate of tax under an applicable Tax Treaty.

The US income tax will be withheld/retained from your scholarship(s) or grant(s) and remitted to the IRS on your behalf. US income tax withheld/retained from scholarships or grants will appear as a debit (Nonresident Alien Tax) on the Fee Bill.

For further information regarding nonresident alien tax withholding, please review the Nonresident Tax FAQs on the Tax & Compliance website.
