Payment for academic credit is a separate, additional cost beyond the Confratute registration fee. A tuition fee in the amount of $3,141 for three (3) graduate credits is due when you apply. An additional one-time enrollment fee of $65.00 and a Technology Fee of $30.00 are required for non-degree students. Degree students pay an additional enrollment fee of $45.00 and other activity fees as required. Payment is to be made by cash, check, money order, purchase order, credit card, or electronic check.
The university accepts credit and debit card payments via the Internet only. Credit card (or debit card) payments are not taken at the cashier's window or by telephone. Students (via the Student Administration System) and Authorized Users (via the Online Bill and Payment System) can make a payment with VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB, BC Card, DinaCard and Diner's Club. A 2.75% non-refundable convenience fee* will apply to your transaction.

For information on other payment options, please visit Student Payments | Office of the Bursar (uconn.edu)
STRAND SELECTION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Participants who register and pay for graduate credit will select a strand as their "major" and work independently with their strand coordinator to develop an independent project or product to fulfill the requirements for earning credit in either EPSY 5195 or EPSY 5198. Guidelines for product development will be discussed in each strand and will be included in the information you receive when you arrive at Confratute. Complete the product and submit it to the strand coordinator to have your grade submitted to the Registrar. If you wish to have your coordinator return your project, enclose an envelope addressed to you with sufficient postage. The cover page of your project should be a copy of your approved Management Plan. If you need your grade submitted prior to October 1, 2024, please inform your strand coordinator and request that your grade be submitted early. Products or projects not completed by the end of Confratute must be completed and grades submitted by the instructor within one year of application. Transcripts can be requested through the Registrar's website at https://registrar.uconn.edu/transcripts. There is no fee for this transcript service.
