Student Administrative Services Center. The Student Administrative Services Center (SASC) provides a “one-stop shopping” service for student-related administrative processes including registration, bill payment, enrollment verification, access to academic records, and basic financial aid information.

SASC features the following conveniences:

• an express transaction window for simple registration and payment activity, including rush transcript requests
• consultation with a specialist to assist with more complex issues, and
• student access to online services at computer kiosks.

SASC provides enhanced service to students through its case-management approach. Students work with a well-trained client-service specialist who is responsible for navigating students through the various stages of enrollment and financial services. If there are unresolved issues, the SASC specialist is responsible for following up on them until they are resolved.

The unit is located on the second floor of the Administration and Computer Center building.

Graduate student participation in group programs and activities will be welcomed.

Campus Ministry. Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish clergy, who currently form the Department of Chaplains (located in Gengras Student Union, room 153), are available for personal counseling and conversation with interested individuals and to assist students in worship, study, and discussion groups, service and action projects, events, and other religious activities. The clergy help students to serve in various capacities through churches, synagogues, and other religious institutions in Greater Hartford.

Hillel Foundation. Hillel’s mission is to bring Jewish students together in a welcoming, supportive environment. Hillel actively seeks to engage uninvolved Jewish students on their own terms, to provide them with opportunities to experience the Jewish culture in a way that is meaningful and appealing to them. Students are empowered to take responsibility for their Jewish identity, whether they wish to participate in a community service project or social event, express themselves artistically, engage in informal Jewish learning, or attend religious services. Any student may participate in Hillel; no membership is required. Hillel is committed to a pluralistic vision of Judaism that embraces all movements.

Newman Club. The Newman Club provides a foundation for Catholic students to live and grow in their faith through social, educational, spiritual, and community service activities. Programming is student-led and -planned. Meetings are open to all who have interest in Catholic life on campus. A Catholic priest serves as the advisor to the Newman Club. He also is available for spiritual direction and counseling. Mass is celebrated every Sunday and holy day on campus during the academic year.
