Tuition must be paid in full or payment arrangements made for each semester (fall and spring).
You are required to keep current on all Hartford International bills in order to register each semester. A “hold” on your student account in Populi must be removed prior to registering. Failure to register will place you out-of-status.
Full-time Course Requirement/Course Registration:
You must be registered for 3 courses each semester (fall and spring) to maintain full-time status. Full-time status at Hartford International University is 9 credits.
You can only register for 1 online course per semester.
If you register for more than 1 online course per semester, you are required to register for 2 face-to-face courses to maintain the full-time status requirement.
If you drop a course, you must register for another course to maintain the full-time status requirement.
If there are circumstances that prevent you from taking 9 credits, please see Akeem Burgess as soon as possible (preferably before the beginning of the semester). There are specific exceptions that have to be noted on your Form I-20 to reflect a reduced part-time course load.
You are free to register for as many or as few courses as you wish during official school breaks (January Intersession and summer session).
January Intersession: If you take 1 or more courses during the January
Intersession, the course(s) will not count towards your full-time status requirement for the spring semester. In other words, you are still required to register for 3 courses in the spring semester even if you take courses during the January Intersession. This keeps the University in compliance with registration policies in SEVIS.
You are required to attend class on a regular basis. If an emergency arises and you need to stop attending class, please let your professor know, and see Akeem Burgess immediately in order to continue maintaining your F-1 visa status.
