Important Links and Financial Aid Information
*NEW* Housing
While there are no on-campus housing options available for students attending UConn Health we do understand students need options for living arrangements in the area. We have put together a non-comprehensive list of apartment complexes in the greater Hartford region that offer units with affordable monthly rent. This list is not an endorsement of any particular complex and the University of Connecticut, the UConn Health Center, John Dempsey Hospital, both the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine, the Office of Student Financial Aid Services and their employees are not responsible for any leases entered into by any student. This list is for informational purposes only and exists to give students options when it comes to looking for living accommodations. Please understand rental information such as monthly rent, availability and complex amenities are subject to change.
Residency Aid
This toolkit was designed to assist graduating students as they move into residency and later enter loan repayment. There are links to help students explore options for residency and relocation loans, understand the process to select a repayment plan, get in touch with their loan servicer and establish payment.
If you are having trouble navigating the Student Administrative System these links will provide you with step-by-step instructions to assist in the completion of tasks like updating your address, making payments and accepting your financial aid.

Authorization to Use Title IV Funds (Financial Aid) to Pay for Health Insurance
The university cannot use federal Title IV funds to automatically pay for charges such as parking fees, balances from previous terms or health insurance. A waiver must be completed and signed by the student to give the university this authorization. Without completing this waiver the student is liable for the charges even if a refund is issued. Follow these instructions for completing a title IV waiver.
