How to interpret the acceptance rate
University of Hartford admitted 95.8% of applicants in the reported entering class, so the published rate describes admission for a broad share of that pool. It sits above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
What SAT and ACT scores do University of Hartford students report?
The score submissions point to an enrolled class with room across both test scales, and they describe submitted results rather than admission floors. Applicants weighing an SAT submission can compare their score with 1,120 through 1,310, the middle fifty percent of SAT scores among enrolled students who submitted that test.
For enrolled ACT submitters, the middle fifty percent scored from 24 to 30. These figures give a school-specific reference for recent score submitters, not a required score for admission.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
University of Hartford serves a mixed undergraduate population, with both Pell Grant recipients and students arriving through transfer pathways. Pell Grant recipients account for 33.0% of undergraduates, and an estimated 12.7% enter as transfers or part-time students.
Undergraduate enrollment is 4,146, giving those shares context within a private nonprofit university rather than a small incoming class alone. The composition points to a campus serving students with different financial circumstances and college entry routes.
Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should look for campus resources that address financial aid questions and the move into a new academic setting.
Students who begin full time are largely retained after the first year, though completion trails comparable institutions. The first-year retention rate is 82.9%, just below the peer median of 83.4% for comparable institutions.
For the first-time full-time cohort, the six-year graduation rate is 54.4%, below the peer median of 68.8%. Pell Grant recipients in that cohort have a six-year completion rate of 52.5%, below the overall rate by 1.9 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect strong first-year persistence but a graduation picture that is less favorable than the peer benchmark.
