Registration - Spring 2027
The Schedule of Classes is subject to change.
Please Note: The structure of registration has been revised to reduce the registration portal from being overwhelmed, leading to processing issues, especially during priority registration. There now will be multiple start times each day for undergraduate students. The first start time will be at 8:00 am each day. Start times are determined by earned credits to date, not including credits for which a student is currently registered. The start times for students with no earned credits are determined by last name when necessary.
Below are some basic points to keep in mind:
- Registration for undergraduate students begins on Monday, November 2. The first day of registration is reserved for the following groups: student-athletes, students with accessibility needs, students officially in 3+1 accelerated programs, Red Keys, and seniors with a 3.70 GPA or higher. A schedule with the general order of registration is available at Registration Schedule.
- Registration for graduate students begins on Wednesday, November 4 starting at 12:00 pm.
- Every student will receive an assigned registration date and start time. Students are able to register any time after their assigned date/start time.
- Schedule an appointment with your advisor before your assigned day to register to discuss your plans.
- Undergraduate students will receive a registration PIN from their advisors to access the online registration portal on Self-Service. PLEASE NOTE: The UIS program closed at the end of the 2025–2026 school year, and its courses—now reassigned to departments—are offered under new course codes. Information about the UIS conversion with instructions on how to search for these courses prior to registering is available here.
- Graduate students will not need a registration PIN to register online, except for students in several education programs, who will receive a registration PIN from their program/advisors.
- To avoid problems while registering, please resolve holds on your account, especially Action Item Holds (AI), before attempting to register. You can make payments on past due balances using CashNet. If you are unable to register because of a financial hold, please contact the Student Accounts Office at accounts@hartford.edu.
- If you have an Action Item Hold (AI) preventing you from registering, you need to complete the required Action Item by going to the Registration Portal and then selecting Prepare for Registration.
