Student Affairs
At most universities, student life and academic issues are distinct units with different goals and priorities. At the University of Hartford, Student Affairs and Academic Affairs exist together under one label: Student Success.
We know that every student is different and we work collaboratively to celebrate and support each and every one of our students. We take a holistic approach, recognizing that student success is based on a unique blend of academic, social, personal, and professional needs. We look forward to finding out what is unique about you!
