We can't wait to see you at Accepted Student Day!
Save the Date and Join Us! April 14 or April 27
One of our favorite events to host is Accepted Student Day as we get the opportunity to celebrate you and your acceptance to UHart! Take the opportunity to get an inside look at your life as a future Hawk, meet new friends, and join your school or college for special programming.
Due to the college programming planned, student's admitted into The Hartt School and Hartford Art School should register for Session 1 (8:45 a.m. start time) only on either April 14 or April 27.
What to Expect
We've designed an exciting day for new students and their guests to experience UHart!
Each school will have specific programming for their students, but we wanted to share with you the event itineraries so you know what to expect for the day. Please note that some of our college programming splits students and their guests up at the beginning. You will be reunited before the conclusion of the programming.
We hope you are excited as we are!
Please park in Lot A, Lot B or Lot C. Please reference our travel information page, which includes a campus map. There will be a shuttle from these parking lots to the Sports Center. Shuttles will be making a continuous loop, so please wait at the lot with our tour guides if you do not see a shuttle right away.
When your day concludes, please do not return to the Sports Center as the shuttles will no longer be running. You will be on the academic side of campus, and within walking distance of the lot you parked in. If you are unsure of directions, there will be staff around to assist you in navigating campus.
