FAQ's (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

If you are or have taken courses at a postsecondary institution following high school graduation, the University of Hartford considers you a transfer student. There is no minimum credit limit to qualify as a transfer student. <<Back to FAQ's>>

Upon request, students may be required to submit course descriptions, syllabi or additional information regarding a specific course before the course can be accepted for transfer

When will I receive my transfer evaluation?

Will all my transferable credits apply to my degree program?
No, not necessarily. The Undergraduate Admission Office will determine which credits will transfer in; the individual college evaluator will determine how your credits may apply to your program. <<Back to FAQ's>>
Do you offer financial assistance for transfer students?
Yes. All full-time, U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident transfer applicants who have not earned a previous Bachelor's degree will be considered for up to one form of non-need based aid
at the time of their admission to the University. Eligibility is contingent upon the timeliness of your application for admission and the availability of funds.
This includes:
-Artistic Merit Scholarship (based on art portfolio review for art programs),
-Performing Arts Scholarship (based on audition/interview for music, dance & theatre programs),
-Athletic Scholarship (based on athletic ability),
-Alumni Grant (based on academic achievement),
-Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship (based on nomination/academic achievement),
-President to President Scholarship (based on nomination/academic achievement).
Students enrolled in The Hartt School are ineligible for academic scholarships and academic grants (See Talent Scholarships for more information regarding scholarships for Hartt School students.)
All students who file the Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) will be considered for additional need based funds . We recommend filing online through the federal government website www.fafsa.ed.gov . For best consideration, file by February 1st prior to the academic year for which you wish to receive financial aid.
If you miss the deadline, you may still apply for financial aid, but some funds may be unavailable. Applications for aid will continue to be processed as long as funds are available. If you have not yet applied, do so immediately . Remember, to meet the deadlines above, your application must be received by the date shown. <<Back to FAQ's>>
I only attended one institution since I graduated high school and I have since withdrawn. Do I still need to submit a transcript? Am I considered a transfer student?
Yes, if you have attended any post secondary institution, even if you have withdrawn, you are required to submit an official transcript. You are considered a transfer student unless deemed otherwise through a review of the transcript. Failure to submit or disclose prior attendance may result in withdrawal of your application. <<Back to FAQ's>>
I don't want credit for courses I completed at another institution. Am I still required to submit the transcript?
Yes, if you have attended any post secondary institution, regardless of grades achieved or desired credit, you are required to submit an official transcript. Failure to submit or disclose prior attendance may result in withdrawal of your application. <<Back to FAQ's>>
