    WHEN WILL MY COURSES BE IN HUSKYCT?

    The availability of courses in HuskyCT varies. Generally, courses are available by the first class meeting date. If a course is listed as “unavailable” after the first class meeting, please inquire with your instructor or the course director. Medical students may also contact the HOME office in the School of Medicine. Dental students may contact the Academic Affairs Office in the School of Dental Medicine.

    WHAY IF A COURSE I AM TAKING IS NOT LISTED IN HUSKYCT?

    Courses are offered in HuskyCT at the discretion of the instructor.  Therefore, all courses at UConn Health may not have an associated HuskyCT site. If you are officially registered in a course that is not listed in HuskyCT after the start date of the semester, please inquire with your instructor.

    If you were recently added to a course, please allow up to 24 hours for HuskyCT to receive the update, before contacting your instructor. If 24 hours have passed and your instructor has confirmed the course is offered in HuskyCT, please contact AITS.

    WHAT IF I REGISTERED FOR A COURSE IN THE GRAD SCHOOL, AND LATER DROPPED IT BUT IT’S STILL IN HUSKYCT?

    If you recently dropped a course, please allow up to 24 hours for HuskyCT to receive the update. If 24 hours have passed and the course is still displaying for you in HuskyCT, please contact AITS support.  860-679-440 or servicedesk@uchc.edu.

    WHAT IF I CAN’T FIND AN ASSIGNMENT, EXAM, OR OTHER CONTENT ITEM IN MY HUSKYCT COURSE?

    Availability and placement of tests, assignments, and other content is maintained by your instructor.  Sometimes, instructors will place conditions on releasing content (start/end dates, prerequisites, etc.).  Please consult your instructor for guidance on navigating the course and/or accessing specific materials.

    WHAT IF MY EXAM ATTEMPT IN HUSKYCT WAS INTERRUPTED AND TEH SYSTEM WON’T ALLOW ME TO FINISH?

    HuskyCT quizzes/exams can only be reset by your instructor.  If you have exceeded the allotted number of attempts, it will be necessary for you to contact your instructor. Note that additional attempts are offered solely at the discretion of your instructor.

    WHAT IF I UPLOADED THE WRONG ASSIGNMENT AND THE SYSTEM WON’T ALLOW ME TO SUBMIT?

    The number of attempts permitted for an assignment is set by your instructor.  If you have uploaded the wrong file for an assignment, you contact your instructor directly.  The UITS Help Center is not permitted and does not have access to reset assignment attempts.  The instructor, at his/her discretion, may reset your assignment attempt.

    I NEED TO FINISH AN INCOMPLETE. HOW DO I ACCESS A COURSE FROM A PREVIOUS SEMESTER?

    Courses from prior semesters are generally not open to students.  You should first contact your instructor and obtain permission to access materials from the prior semester.  Your instructor will update the course availability date and your enrollment status.  If your instructor approves the request and you’re still having difficulty accessing the course, please contact AITS support.

    WHAT IS LOCKDOWN BROWSER

    LockDown Browser (LDB) is a secure browser for taking tests in HuskyCT.  LDB prevents you from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during a test. If a test in HuskyCT requires LDB, you will not be able to take the test with a standard web browser. ldb should only be used for taking tests in HuskyCT.  It should not be used in other areas of HuskyCT.
