The University of Connecticut plans to reopen campus in fall 2020. The University is dedicated to working together with public health experts and our state to maintain a quality UConn educational experience while keeping our community healthy.
We in SFA look forward to welcoming our new and returning students, faculty, and staff as we open our campuses this fall. Please see the UConn Reopening website below for detailed information for students, faculty, and staff.

How to ship materials to off-campus students
In-State Students:
- Supplies can be sent directly to students in-state
- Try to use HuskyBuy as your first point of purchase
- Preferred method where you will be able to enter a remote address location.
- Pro-Cards may be utilized as an alternate purchase method and shipped to a remote location within CT with documented approval prior to purchasefrom your Department Head, Fiscal Officer and Pro-Card Administrator.
- Depending on the purchase, it may be subject to further review by the AVP of University Business Services and AVP & Controller. Instructions on how secure this approval can be found here.
Out-of-State Students:
- Supplies cannot be sent directly to students out-of-state due to UConn’s tax exempt status
- In this example, class materials will need to be purchased either through HuskyBuy or a Pro-Card and then shipped to the department’s campus location first. Items will then need to be re-shipped to students who live out-of-state.
