University of Hartford 2012
Welcome! The Office of Residential Life looks forward to welcoming you to campus. In preparation, here are instructions for your arrival to campus. As you may know our University began a very complex construction project in late June 2012. This project includes the removal of a dam and the building of a new bridge over the river. Due to this construction, a portion of the campus roadway between the Hartt School and Lincoln Theater is now closed to vehicles and pedestrians and will remain closed until the end of the Fall 2012 semester. With this in mind, we have organized our parking, check-in location, and unloading locations to ensure a smooth process as possible. Gengras Student Union is where you will complete your check-in paperwork, obtain your room key, learn about services, and receive any assistance needed to help get you started at the University of Hartford. Red Caps and Residential Life staff members will be there to assist you and answer any questions. Reminders:
For students moving in on August 31st and September 1st, please label all boxes and items with your name, residence hall and room number to help maker sure your items are not being lost during move-in. This is EXTREMELY important. Please note that Howie Helpers (our student move-in crew) are here to assist you make your move-in process easier. However, families and students are expected to participate in moving items. This is a time to enjoy your University’s residential experience. We want you to enjoy the exciting programs offered and be part of your hall or apartment community. You determine your community’s success. Make solid decisions and enjoy your year!
