Any individual or business with a vehicle registered in the state of Connecticut may purchase a UConn license plate. We encourage students, alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and all loyal Husky fans in Connecticut to purchase the plate and support UConn.

The regular UConn plate (no special requests) costs $55. Each time you renew your vehicle registration, $55 is charged for the UConn plate in addition to your regular registration fees. Special request plates are available for additional fees.

The additional fees provide sustained support for the University of Connecticut. The funds are used to enhance alumni services and outreach efforts. UConn receives $40 for each new plate and $50 for every renewal of the UConn plate. These amounts count as tax-deductible gifts to UConn.

The old UConn plate program has been discontinued and we are no longer offering that plate design. We hope you like the refreshed design and will choose to support UConn by purchasing a new UConn plate.
