Question:  Where do I register and make a payment?

Answer:  At the Student Administrative Services Center located on the second floor of the Beatrice Auerbach Computer and Administration building.  The front offices of Bursar and Registrar have combined to create a 'one-stop' service for students where you can register and make payment with the same person.  Please sign-in at the Reception desk.  Students may also check with their advisor to see if they are able to register on-line.

Question:  Why is my call not being answered when calling the Student Administrative Services Center (SASC) at (860)768-4999?

Answer:  Please be sure you are calling our office during regular business hoursPlease note that our initial greeting at 860-768-4999 is not a voicemail box.  The greeting automatically puts you in a calling queue to be answered by the next available representative.  If you are calling during regular business hours and you are unable to reach us, you may be calling during a peak call time.  We generally have 4 to 6 people scheduled to answer incoming telephone calls.  However, our volume of calls increase greatly during the 12:00 - 2:00pm lunch hour each day.  They also increase when the Bursar billing statements are received at home and at the time of the due date for the billing statement.  Another busy telephone time is at the beginning of each semester.  You may try the following:

ˇ         Call during an off-peak time.  Early in the morning or later in the afternoon.

ˇ         Have your student visit our office.  We will be happy to have a Client Service Specialist call you at the time your student is being helped.

ˇ         Contact us through e-mail or Fax.  Our e-mail address is sasc@hartford.edu and fax number is (860)768-4886.  We make every effort to respond to all e-mail and fax inquiries within 24 hours.  However, this may be delayed to 48 hours during extremely busy periods.

ˇ         Leave a voicemail message.  As with e-mail and fax request responses, we make every effort to respond within 24 to 48 hours.

Question:  Where is the credit for my $500.00 Admissions deposit?

Answer:  Students who expect to live on-campus pay a $500.00 admissions deposit and those students with off-campus housing are required to pay a $300.00 admissions deposit.  The only portion of your admissions deposit that will be reflected on the Bursar billing statement is the $100.00 tuition deposit.  Please note we do not reflect the $200.00 fee for commuter student orientation, the $250.00 fee for resident student orientation, or the$150.00 damage deposit on the Bursar billing statement.  The orientation fee covers the student's cost of orientation and the damage deposit is held on the student account until they vacate housing.  The damage deposit is then released to the account and processed according to the Residential Life deposit guidelines.

 

Question:  How can I get a transcript?
Answer:  Complete instructions can be obtained by calling (860)768-4588.  Transcript requests are done through the Registrar/SASC offices and requests must be made in writing.  Should you make your request in person, you will be required to fill out a transcript request form and make payment at the Student Administrative Services Center.  For your convenience, the Express Transactions Window is open Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Please note the Express Window is closed from 12:00-2:00 on Monday through Thursday, however you can make your request in the SASC department.  If you mail your request to the Registrar's Office please be sure to mark your envelope for the Transcript Department and include authorization to charge the necessary payment or enclose a check or money order made payable to the University of Hartford.  Transcripts cost $4.00 for a single copy; if ordered in multiples, $1.00 each additional copy ordered after the first copy.  Registrar's office asks for up to ten days for processing.  If you require a "rush" transcript, processed within 3 business days, the cost is $10.00 per transcript.  Please note that the Registrar's office will not process transcripts if you have a Bursar hold on your account.  Holds include cashier restriction, Stafford/Perkins exit requirements and health immunization restrictions.

Question:  I have a loan pending, why am I not cleared for classes?

Answer:  We issue a 'memo credit' on student accounts for pending loans as long as all the proper paperwork has been completed and processed.  Please be sure you have properly completed the MPN (master promissory note).  Federal Stafford and Perkins loans require the MPN be completed prior to issuing a memo credit.  Other loans including, PLUS, EXCEL, CT FELP, TERI, CitiASSIST, will not memo until the school has certified the loan.  If you have submitted a promissory note to a lender you may fax this information to our office at (860)768-4886 and we can review the student account.  Include the student name, ID number, name of contact person and telephone number where you can be reached.

Question:  I am waiting for my outside scholarship to be credited to my account.  Do I need to pay the balance due before you receive the funds?
Answer:  The University does not consider outside scholarships a payment until the actual check is received and credited on your account.  Therefore, outside scholarships do follow the same payment due dates as tuition payments.  You will need to make sure that they have the current due dates for your tuition.  If payment is not expected by the due date, you will need to pay your account balance in full and can request a refund when the scholarship money is received and your Bursar account reflects a credit balance.

Question:  Where can I get information for my medical insurance company?
Answer:  The Student Administrative Services Center will provide you with enrollment verification.  A request for verification form can be obtained from their office.  Please fill the request out in detail and allow 7-10 business days for processing.

Question:  Why do I need a student identification (ID) card and validation sticker?
Answer:  All students are eligible to receive a student ID card.  Their initial card is no charge, however there is a fee for a replacement.  The ID card identifies a student as a University of Hartford student and the validation sticker signifies that the student is in good financial standing with the Bursar's office.  The ID card is used for the following:  dorm and meal plan access, library use, flex account access, use of the Athletic center, among other things.  The ID card is issued through the ID office located on the bottom floor of Gengras Student Union.  At the start of the fall semester they have extended hours to accommodate the evening student.  Please call them at (860)768-4829 for specific business hours.

Question:  Why didn't I receive my ID validation sticker in the mail like my friend did?
Answer:  ID validation stickers are mailed out to students prior to the fall and spring terms.  Any student who has made their required payment by the designated due dates will have an ID validation sticker mailed to their permanent home address.  A validation sticker may not be mailed if the student does not make payment by the due date.  However, if payment has been received after the due date and prior to classes, schedules are generally available the first or second business days after students arrive on campus in the lobby of the Beatrice Auerbach administration building.

Question:  Do I need a parking permit if I only take one class at night?
Answer:  Yes.  Every vehicle parked on campus is required to carry the proper parking permit for the lot where the vehicle is parked.  Vehicles not showing a valid parking permit for the lot they are parking in are subject to a parking fine.

Question: How can I get my books? 

Answer:  You can purchase your books directly at the Campus bookstore or on-line at www.hartford.bkstr.com.  Please contact the bookstore directly at 860-768-4801.

Campus Store:  Bring your course confirming schedule to pick out your books and pay for them in one trip.

On-Line:  Avoid the long lines by purchasing your books on-line.  All Fall Term orders (pick-up and shipping) will be held until the second week in August.  At this time they will be processed in the order in which they were received.  Used books are sold on a first come first serve basis.  Requesting DO NOT SUBSTITUTE could result in an incomplete order.  If used books are available The Campus Bookstore will ALWAYS pull them first unless indicated otherwise. 

Question:  Am I eligible for a Bookstore voucher?
Answer:  Bookstore vouchers can be issued to students who have need based financial aid above the cost of tuition and fees.  The only loans considered in assessing the eligibility for a voucher are Federal Stafford Loans.  Loans such as the Federal PLUS, CT FELP and TERI as well as AMS 10-Month payment plans may not be considered in verifying the eligibility of receiving a bookstore voucher.  Students who are eligible for a bookstore voucher need to come to the Bursar's office, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. with a valid student identification card.  Students will be given strict guidelines associated with the use of a bookstore voucher.
