Academic
advising
Students
are assigned a core faculty member to serve as their academic
advisor at the time of admission to Hartford Seminary. It is
important that students meet regularly with their academic advisor
about their educational program, degree requirements and when
reaching the completion of their degree, the final paper, project or
thesis. For more information about academic advising, please see the Hartford Seminary Catalogue. If you are uncertain
about who your faculty advisor is, please contact the Registrar at
509-9511.
Incomplete
grades information
If you
fall behind on your work during the semester it is important to be
in close contact with your instructor. If necessary you may request
an incomplete for the course. To do so you must fill out an
"Incomplete Course Form" and ask the instructor if he or
she is willing to grant you an incomplete. When an incomplete is
granted the instructor and student must agree upon a date for
completion of all course work. All incomplete work must be finished
and the final grade recorded with the Registrar within six months of
the last day of the semester in which the course was given. Please
remember that requesting an incomplete is your responsibility.
Be sure to weigh the benefits of having more time to complete your
work against the drawbacks of having a course drag on beyond the
current semester.
ID
cards
All
students (including auditors and special students) are issued a
student ID card by the Library. Please check with the Hartford
Seminary receptionist, in the lobby of the main building (77 Sherman
Street) on your first day of classes. She will either have your ID
card available or have a date of availability for you.
Library
and Bookstore hours
The Library and Bookstore hours vary according to the academic schedule. For the current hours of operation, visit the home page of the Library web site and the home page of the Bookstore.
Messages
and contacting students in the event of an emergency
During
the academic year, a receptionist staffs the seminary’s front desk
while classes are in session. Messages for any student may be left
at the main number, 860-509-9500. In the event of an emergency, the
receptionist will have you contacted in your classroom.

Security
Students
are urged to take reasonable precautions for personal safety and
property. Please keep wallets and purses on your person and do not
leave laptops or other valuables unattended in classrooms. If you
notice anyone wandering around, please ask if you can help them or
notify a staff member or the front desk receptionist immediately.
Parking
Parking
is available in three parking lots. The lot to the side of the main
building (77 Sherman) is accessible from Sherman Street or Girard
Avenue (follow Sherman around curve and make left at the stop sign
onto Girard). When entering from Girard, please do not use the first
six spaces to the left of the driveway as you enter from Girard
Avenue; these are for residents of Girard Avenue.
The
lot to the left rear of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research
is accessible from the driveway between 80 Sherman and the Attorney
General’s office. Please do not park in the spaces marked for
residents or in the Attorney General’s lot.
The
Macdonald Center lot (behind 74-76 Sherman) usually has extra spaces
available on a daily basis. Students are welcome to use them when
the other two lots are full. Street parking is also available in
designated areas.
Student
lounge and vending machine
Need
a break? Visit our student lounge on the second floor of 77 Sherman
Street. To get there, take a right off the elevator (left off
of the stairwell) and follow the hallway.
In
that same location, you will find a soda and snack machine. We
ask that you please dispose of any garbage and deposit cans in the
recycling box near the machine.
Kitchen/Cafe
The
kitchen and café dining area are located between the Meeting Room
and the Chapel in the main building at 77 Sherman Street. Classes,
meetings, and worship may be taking place in the Meeting Room and
the Chapel so we ask that you please be conscious of the noise
level.
Students
may use the refrigerator in the kitchen to store their food items
when necessary. Please write your name on whatever you store there
and please respect any other marked items in the kitchen and
refrigerator. The microwave and conventional oven/stove are also
available for student use.
Coffee
and tea are available from the vending machine in the kitchen for
$.25 per cup. Payment is by the honor system, so please deposit your
payment in the metal box provided on the counter to help defray the
cost. A garbage can is located in the kitchen and a recycling bin is
located outside the kitchen window. Please clean up after yourself!
