UPLD Mission

The University of Connecticut is committed to assuring equal educational opportunity for students with learning disabilities who have the potential for success in a highly competitive university setting.

Since 1984, a comprehensive program has been available to assist qualified students with learning disabilities to become independent and successful learners within the regular University curriculum. The University Program for College Students with Learning Disabilities (UPLD) is designed to complement, but not duplicate, the University's existing campus services and programs. UPLD is located in the Neag School of Education (Gentry Building), in Room 003. UPLD is part of the Center on Postsecondary Education and Disability of the Department of Educational Psychology.
