Checklist

The following is a checklist of items to attend to when you are starting out at the University of Harford.

When you first join the University community you must:

  • Provide the Health Services Department with the required MMR form

    The form was in your application for undergraduate study and can be accessed online at uhaweb.hartford.edu/health/forms.html. It can also be found in the back section of each semester's Schedule of Classes. It must be returned to the University of Hartford Health Services office. This form is required by state law and must be turned in before the end of your first semester of classes. Please call (860)768-6601 with any questions.

  • Meet with an Advisor

    If you are matriculated into a degree or certificate program, you should have been assigned a faculty advisor with whom you discuss course selection. If you are not yet matriculated, contact the Graduate and Adult Academic Services Center to set up an appointment with an advisor to determine the appropriate course or courses to commence your studies. Non-matriculated students may also be required to obtain signatures from the department offering the selected courses. The Graduate and Adult Academic Services Center is located in the Beatrice Auerbach Administration and Computer Center in room 231. Hours: Mon. - Thurs. 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., Fri. 8:30 a.m.- 4:30p.m. Phone: (860)768-4371.

  • Register for Classes in Beatrice Fox Auerbach Administration and Computer Center or Online

    You may register at the Student Administration Service Center (SASC) located in the Beatrice Auerbach Administration and Computer Center, 2 nd Floor. All registration forms require both student and advisor signatures. Please call the SASC center at (860) 768-4999 for questions regarding registration or registrar issues. With a PIN obtained from your advisor (matriculated students only), you can register online at uhaweb.hartford.edu/sasc/On-Line.htm.

  • Pay Fees and Tuition in Beatrice Fox Auerbach Administration and Computer Center or Online

    Payments and processing of all tuition deferral and employer reimbursement paperwork is handled by the Student Administration Service Center (SASC) located in the Beatrice Auerbach Administration and Computer Center, 2nd Floor. Please call the SASC center at (860) 768-4999 for questions regarding registration or billing issues. The University no longer sends paper bills; all billing information must be obtained online through the Student Self Service Center: http://banweb.hartford.edu/. You can access the Bursar website at http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/bursar/welcome.html.

  • Obtain a Parking Permit from Public Safety

    Parking permits must be obtained through the Department of Public Safety. Students initiate the registration process online at uhaweb.hartford.edu/PUBSAFETY. After completing the registration form, print out a temporary permit. Students must then go to public safety with their temporary permit and a student ID to pick up their actual permit and parking regulation booklet. The parking fee will be charged to the student account. Permits for the entire academic year (September through August) cost $75 and for one semester cost $45. If you have questions, please call Public Safety at (860)768-7985.

    The Hawk Card ID office is located in the lower level of Gengras Student Union. Make sure to bring a picture ID, such as a driver's license, and confirmation of registration with you. For hours and questions, call (860) 768-5343.

  • Obtain E-mail Account

    Your email account will be generated at your first registration. Shortly after registration, your email address and login information will be sent to you by U.S. mail. University of Hartford email accounts are required to login to the Library from home and to access Blackboard, our course management tool. For directions on how to access online services from home, go to: its.hartford.edu/e-mail.htm. If you have questions, call (860)768-5999 or visit the Computer Support Center on the 1st floor of the Computer and Administration Center. For hours of operation, check their website at uhaweb.hartford.edu/its/services.htm and scroll down until you find their hours.

  • Obtain Undergraduate Bulletin in Beatrice Fox Auerbach Administration and Computer Center, Center for Graduate and Adult Academic Services

    The Undergraduate Bulletin for the year you are accepted or matriculated is considered your contract with the University. Your progress toward graduation will be evaluated against the degree program as it is printed in that year's Bulletin. If program requirements are added after matriculation, you need not satisfy the additional requirements, as long as you have been in continual attendance. However, part-time students who have taken off more than three consecutive semesters after matriculation must reapply to the University and must satisfy the program requirements specified in the Bulletin in effect at the time of reapplication and readmission in order to graduate. The Bulletin also provides detailed information on University policies and procedures and should be retained by the student until graduation.

  • Purchase Books at Follett Bookstore in the Harry Jack Gray Center

    Textbooks are located in the lower level of the bookstore in the Harry Jack Gray Center. The bookstore will be open special hours during the first two weeks of the term. Bring your schedule with you so that you get the proper books for your section and course number. If you have questions, call (860) 768-4801. Books can be purchased online at http://www.hartford.bkstr.com/ .

An Optional Step:
