If your University has a current partnership/exchange agreement with the University of Hartford you are welcome to apply as an exchange student. You may study as an exchange student for either one or two semesters. Your study will not lead to a degree. You will receive an academic transcript (record) that lists the subjects you've completed and the grade you've earned. An official transcript will be sent to your University upon completion of your study at Hartford. 

To confirm whether your University has an exchange agreements please check with your International Office or Ms. Nicole Kurker-Stewart at the University of Hartford.

You are also welcome to come to the University as a visiting student. A visiting student is one who is looking for an experience at the University for one or two academic terms. Upon completion of your academic term(s) you will be issued an official transcript indicating the credit(s) earned. You will be permitted to enroll in a maximum of five subjects per term.

You will be required to provide both an academic transcript and proof that you have the required knowledge base in a subject prior to moving forward with your course registration.
