Upcoming Orientation Session

Your Introduction to Campus

Orientation Checklist

We want your transition to UHart to be a smooth one, so we've created a place where resources, next steps, and important "to-dos" can be found as you prepare for your first year.

We look forward to welcoming you at Orientation!

Jump into our campus community by participating in our in-person Orientation. At Orientation, you'll learn more about campus resources and tips and tricks for how to be academically successful in your first year. 

We loved getting to see so many of you at our June sessions! For those students who were unable to attend, we have one more session on August 22. Students living on campus and attending Orientation on August 22 will move in on August 21. 

Looking forward to seeing you soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at css@hartford.edu so that we can help.

Parent/Guest Orientation
