Your Introduction to Campus
We want your transition to UHart to be a smooth one, so we've created a place where resources, next steps, and important "to-dos" can be found as you prepare for your first year.
We look forward to welcoming you at our in-person Orientation for first-year and transfer students!
Orientation is a great time to learn more about campus and your future as a Hawk!
We can't wait to host our incoming students beginning with us in Fall 2025 at Orientation this June! Please select the session that works best for you.
- Session 1: June 8-9
- Session 2: June 13-14
- Session 3: June 15-16
We look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at css@madorders.com so that we can help.
If you are unable to attend Orientation in June, please reach out to our Center for Student Success at css@madorders.com or 860.768.4999 to talk with us about our alternate date on August 22.
