GPA Requirements for The Graduate School

Except in exceptional circumstances, to be considered for admission to a graduate degree or certificate program, a student’s prior coursework must meet one of the following criteria:

  • A cumulative GPA for their most recent degree of 3.0 or higher for the entire degree, or
  • If the most recent degree is an undergraduate degree or the student has not yet completed their undergraduate degree:
    • A GPA of 3.0 or higher for the entire two most recent years of full-time undergraduate coursework, or
    • A GPA of 3.5 or higher for the entire most recent year of full-time undergraduate coursework, or
  • If a student has taken at least one semester of full-time study following the completion of the most recent undergraduate or graduate degree, a GPA of 3.0 or higher for all of their post-degree coursework.
To complete your application you must:
  • Upload transcripts from the school where you received your bachelor’s degree and any courses taken beyond regardless of whether a degree was received.
  • Upload transcripts and degrees from international institutions in both English and the primary language of the university. Your application will not be reviewed without these copies.

Failure to upload transcripts from all educational institutions, regardless of whether or not a degree was received, may be grounds for cancellation of admission.

Additional application requirements for international students

The Graduate School does not require a third-party credential evaluation, however we welcome evaluations from the following services:

    • NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) or
    • AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators)

If your degree is a 3 year bachelor’s degree from India, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka or certain other countries, we will not consider the degree to be equivalent with a 4 year US bachelor’s degree. This is our policy, even if the degree has been evaluated as a 4 year degree by an outside credential evaluator that is a member of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) or AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators).

  • Upload individual/yearly mark sheets or transcripts (courses and grades, not hours) for students who complete their education in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka.
  • If you completed a degree and it is not indicated on your transcript, then we require a copy of your degree to be uploaded to your application. The most common reason for delayed consideration of applications is failure to upload all required transcripts (and degrees from international institutions).
  • To try and minimize international mail delays after submitting your application, The Graduate School recommends sending official transcripts and degrees from each college/university you have attended.  (Please note official transcripts and degrees are not required to be sent to The Graduate School until after an offer of admission has been made.)  The documents should be mailed to:

University of Connecticut
The Graduate School
438 Whitney Road Ext. U-1152
Storrs, CT 06269-1152

Please note The Graduate School will accept:

  • International transcripts electronically from WES (World Education Services), IEE (International Education Evaluations), and ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators).*
  • Transcripts and degrees from China that are verified by either CSSD  (Center for Student Services and Development, Ministry of Education, P.R. China), or CDGDC (China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center).*
  • Transcripts and degrees from India that are verified by TrueCopy.*

* While CSSDCDGDCTrueCopy, and electronic evaluations from WESIEE, and ECE are options for sending official transcripts and degrees, original transcripts and degrees are also accepted.
