Housing Application

At the University of Hartford, on-campus living is designed to help you feel connected, supported, and at home. Your residence is where everyday moments turn into meaningful connections—and where your UHart experience takes shape.

The Housing Application helps us learn more about you so we can create the best possible living experience. Through the application, you’ll share preferences, request roommates, and note any specific needs to help guide your housing placement.
