Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar is the official guardian of all permanent academic records for the University. Our mission is to give prompt, accurate, and appropriate service to students, parents, alumni, administrators, faculty, staff, Hampton University constituents, and to the public.

We coordinate and insure the proper flow of information from all constituents of the University in reference to the preparation for registration, scheduling of classes and academic resources, maintenance to the student record and clearing students for graduation.

These duties and services of the Registrar’s Office assists the University in achieving its mission of offering exemplary programs and opportunities which enable students, faculty, and staff to grow, develop, and contribute to society in a productive and useful manner.
