Interested in learning more about UHart? Fill out our online request form. We will add you to our mailing list so you receive our viewbook, information about open houses, and information about our scholarships. The form will ask about your interests, intended major, and extracurricular activities. That’s so we can send you information tailored to your interests and talents. We suggest providing us with a personal email address like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. instead of your high school email address so we can communicate with you throughout the application cycle.

Application Basics

Are you a senior or transfer student ready to take the next step? We've highlighted some of the steps you should take to apply to UHart.

You can apply for admission to the University of Hartford beginning Aug 1 before your senior year or as a transfer student the term before your intended enrollment term. UHart accepts early action (Nov. 15 deadline) and rolling admission until programs are full. Health profession majors, music theatre and actor training programs tend to fill quickly and early.

Early action carries a few primary benefits including: waiving of the $35 application fee, a quick admission decision once all supporting documentation is received, and maximum financial aid and scholarship consideration.

Deadlines:

• Early action candidates apply by Nov 15. This is non-binding.
• Rolling admission is available until programs fill (programs fill quickly so don't delay).
• To begin the Orientation, registration, and housing processes, students should submit their deposit as soon as possible but no later than our priority deadline ofJune 1*

The University of Hartford awards more than $95 million in scholarships and grants each year. We recommend that you file the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) before Feb 15 for maximum UHart financial aid consideration. UHart’s code is 001422. A copy of your FAFSA Student Aid Report will be sent to UHart after you file online so we can put together your financial aid award. Any student who completed the FAFSA will be reviewed for institutional, federal and state aid programs.
