Importance scale
The theory behind WikiProject University of Connecticut's importance ratings is that articles which better serve to highlight and bring attention to the University are given a higher priority. The following guidelines should be used when assigning Importance ratings:

Top importance
Top importance should be reserved for the following articles:


 * University of Connecticut - the main University article
