Information for Counselors

Welcome, Counselors

You’re a trusted guide in helping students find the right path and at the University of Hartford, we’re proud to be your partner in that journey. Together, we can help your students take the next step toward futures filled with purpose and possibility.

The University of Hartford meets potential with intentional preparation so every student can put their purpose to work. Our dynamic learning environment encourages curiosity, confidence, and connection, helping students excel both in and beyond the classroom.

We’re excited to work with you to help every student find a place where they’ll thrive.

Applying to UHart

We review first-year applications on a rolling basis, starting in late September, so students can apply when they’re ready and hear back soon after.

They can choose the option that works best for them:

• UHart Application Portal
• The Common App

Additional required supporting documents:

• Official high school transcript
• SAT or ACT scores (optional but encouraged)
• One letter of recommendation from a high school teacher or counselor

Visiting UHart

As you know, one of the most valuable ways students explore their college options is by visiting campus.

On our 350-acre campus, with its green spaces and wooded trails, students get a firsthand look at life at UHart. Guided by current students, they can ask questions, experience the community, and see what makes our campus unique. We aim for every visitor to leave feeling like UHart could be home.

Keeping Hawks Healthy

At the University of Hartford, your students’ health, well-being, and safety are at the heart of what we do.

Through the Division of Student Success, we provide a range of resources to keep them thriving. Access to an on-campus medical center, counseling and psychological services, EMS-trained public safety officers, and a newly renovated fitness center provides the support they need to feel safe, cared for, and ready to succeed.

Hired Before Graduation

At UHart, student success isn’t just a priority, it’s who we are.

We go beyond helping students build resumes or search for jobs. We challenge them to explore career paths, develop new skills, pursue advanced degrees, and connect with industry professionals. The result? Graduates who are ready to thrive beyond college—many of whom secure jobs even before walking across the stage.
