University of Connecticut-Hartford Campus

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Connecticut-Hartford Campus?

UConn Hartford's published price depends heavily on Connecticut residency. For the 2025-26 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $18,130 for in-state students and $44,004 for out-of-state students. Those totals combine reported tuition with required fees; they do not include living expenses, books, transportation, or personal spending.

• In-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $17,010; reported required fees: $1,120.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $39,678; reported required fees: $1,120.
• Reported part-time tuition charge: $709 per credit for in-state students or $1,654 per credit for out-of-state students; other applicable charges may be additional.

Hartford students should build a living-expense budget around where they will actually reside. A university-wide room-and-board figure is not the price of a Hartford residence hall: UConn Hartford does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing. Rent, groceries, commuting, and parking can therefore differ substantially from a residential cost estimate. Books and supplies were reported at about $990, but actual spending varies by course.

Published price is also different from net price, which reflects grant and scholarship aid in the reporting measure. For 2024-25, the reported average net price was $10,403 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less and $23,777 for those above $110,000. Those are group averages, not individual quotes. In the same reporting period, 85% of students received some form of financial aid and 38% used student loans; loans must generally be repaid.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Connecticut state assistance, UConn scholarships, and, where applicable, veterans' education benefits. The FAFSA is the main application for federal aid and is also relevant to many need-based awards; scholarship and state-aid programs may have separate conditions or priority dates. Compare a current UConn aid offer and campus-specific cost-of-attendance budget before deciding what attendance would cost your household.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Connecticut-Hartford Campus?

UConn Hartford students may pursue part-time employment, including jobs offered through UConn, while eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid offer. Work-Study is a funding arrangement for qualifying jobs, not a guarantee of employment or an amount automatically deducted from the tuition bill.

Students normally need to meet federal-aid eligibility rules and complete the FAFSA to be considered for Federal Work-Study. They must then find and work an eligible position to earn wages, subject to their award and the job's availability. Ordinary student jobs may have different eligibility rules and do not require a Work-Study award. UConn's student-employment listings and financial-aid office are the appropriate places to check current openings, hiring procedures, and whether a position can be worked from Hartford.

For career development beyond paid campus work, UConn students can use university career resources for major and career exploration, résumé and interview preparation, internship searches, employer events, and job-search tools. A Hartford student should check which appointments and events are available remotely or downtown rather than assume every Storrs-based event is held locally. Career assistance is a service; it is not evidence of a particular placement rate or job offer.
