Housing Application

If you are a new residential student and enrolled at the University of Hartford for your first semester, your housing deposit was incorporated into your main deposit to the university. The housing application will not work until this deposit has been submitted and processed (which typically takes 48 business hours) and you receive your University email address.

1. Log into UHart’s Self-Service using your ID and password

2. Select "Residential Life" (this will take you to the Housing Portal)

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis after the June 15 priority deadline.

The priority deadline for Residential Learning Communities is May 17.

Roommates

Students will be able to view other students' profiles on the Housing Portal and select a roommate beginning May 15.  

If you do not request a roommate, we will match you based on the profile questions you answer inside your housing application, so make sure you answer them accurately.

For transfer students, we work to house you with other transfer and non-transfer students who have similar majors, interests, and responses to the profile questions inside the housing application. If you have a roommate you would like to request, you and your desired roommate must contact our office at reslife@hartford.edu to request to live together.

Single Rooms

Students can request a single room on the Housing Application. Single rooms are limited, so first-year and transfer students are encouraged to apply early if they would like one.

Returning students are defined as students who have been enrolled at the University of Hartford for at least one semester. Any returning student who is enrolled as a full-time undergraduate program may apply to live in undergraduate housing.

*Students who complete a Housing Application must be registered as a full-time student by July 24 to receive a Fall 2024 housing assignment. If the student is not registered by the deadline, their Housing Application will be canceled.
