At least ½ payment plus registration and late fees, as appropriate, are due at the time of registration. See tuition page for tuition and fees that apply to each program. Dance students in the Intensive Program are eligible for a payment plan of 8 installments over the course of the year for an additional charge which is built into the payment plan.
The University of Hartford will divide tuition for fall and spring semester programs into 2 installments and bill accordingly. Programs which utilize payment plans other than per semester are not eligible for this option, but have comparable plans available.
Early registration periods are offered for most non-auditioned programs including private music lessons, dance and First Steps in Music. For the fall semester, students may register by August 1 st and pay a $50 deposit towards fall semester tuition. For the spring semester, students may register by January 1 st and pay a $50 deposit towards spring semester tuition. Families will be billed by the University of Hartford for any remaining balances. There is no early registration period for summer programs. Students who participate in the early registration period will receive a $15 waiver of the registration fee. This program allows the office staff to better facilitate class lists and payroll; deadlines will not be extended for any reason.
A late fee of $30 will be assessed to all private music lesson and intensive dance students who register after the first day of the semester. Late registrations for these two programs severely impacts payroll and which classes can run thereby resulting in this additional charge for those who do not register on time.
Payment is accepted by cash (exact change), check (payable to “ University of Hartford ”), or credit card: VISA, Master Card, Discover, and American Express.
The University of Hartford Bursar 's Office will bill each family for unpaid tuition. Payments must be made in accordance with those terms, typically within 30 days. A default charge of 1.5 % will be assessed on any remaining balance until paid in full. If, in the judgment of the University of Hartford , it becomes necessary to engage the services of a collection agency or attorney to effect collection or settle any dispute in connection with the above terms, the individual who signs the registration form agrees to pay the collection agency or attorney fees, reasonable expenses, and costs as incurred. The individual who signs the registration form understands and agrees to these terms.
