Summer 2026 – Virtual Sessions for Prospective Students
Virtual prospective student information sessions will introduce students to the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) at UConn and discuss how accommodation requests and coordination in college differ from the process in high school.
Additionally, staff from CSD’s enhanced services program, Beyond Access, will present an overview of their program, and our CSDTech Team will demonstrate some Assistive Technology tools. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
**All sessions will be held online via Microsoft Teams from 2:00pm-4:00pm.**
Dates for new prospective student sessions will be posted during the summer of 2026.
To register for a session, please email csd@uconn.edu and include your student’s condition(s), the names and relationships of anyone attending with the prospective student, and if anyone attending needs accommodations to participate.
