MyUConn App
New and Improved MyUConn Mobile App
UITS has launched a revamped version of myUConn, the university’s mobile app and a connection to campus and course information.
The new myUConn app, powered by Kurogo, focuses on enhancing the mobile experience:
- It works on any size Android and iOS device. You can download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- For other types of phones and tablets, you can access the same functionality on the mobile site: https://my.uconn.edu/
- Current myUConn HD iPad/Andriod tablet users are encouraged to remove their existing app and download this release of myUConn.
This version of the myUConn app also includes a new maintenance module, which integrates with Facilities Operations’ IT systems. With this new module, you can notify Facilities Operations of maintenance and repair items in dorms and around campus. With intelligent location services included in the module, you can pinpoint the problem, even if you are unsure of the exact site.
More modules as well as improved features are coming. You can learn more at http://mobile.uconn.edu
