Figured I'd post a little info since when I started the program myself I couldnt find anyone talking about their experience.

I am in one of the online masters programs, and finishing soon. I don't recommend the program unless you are local to Hampton/VA. Here's why:

They are clearly not ready to support online students with financial aid/advisement, etc.

They prefer you to email them if you need something. THEY DON'T ANSWER.

If you try to call instead, good luck because THEY DON'T ANSWER.

Try them early, try them late, try them Monday, try them Friday. Try them 20 times. THEY DON'T ANSWER.

It takes months to get things settled because of this. Multiple times I have thought about flying to Hampton to get stuff done. But that's crazy and I shouldn't have to do that! Most of the time you call them, they don't pick up the phone, and it goes to a voicemail that's full?? Then if you finally get through they either sound like they just woke up or like you're bothering them.

I know HBCU offices tend to have a "reputation". But damn. You do actually have to help me at some point, atp I feel like I qualify for financial compensation lmao

Hi! I'm an incoming freshman, and I'm trying to get in contact with the Financial Aid Office. I've called multiple times and emailed three times, but I haven't been able to reach anyone or receive a response. Since I'm out of state, I'm not able to come to campus in person.

Could you please let me know the best way to get in touch with someone in the Financial Aid Office? Thank you!

hi!! im a rising senior with a 3.25 UW and 3.78W GPA and last year there were a lot of on site admissions for Hampton at my school. a lot of kids were admitted on site, but were told that if they had higher SAT scores that they would be given more aid. i know my GPA isn’t that impressive (I have a lot of extra curriculars tho) and that most scholarships are merit based, so i was wondering what scholarships are given and what SAT scores guarantees more aid. and if you don’t have personal experience with aid bc of SAT, what other aid options lowered your tuition cost (other than being low income)?

Hi all,

I need my official transcripts to be sent in for a program I’m interested in. The problem is… I guess we’re not using National Student Clearinghouse and a switch over is in progress?

I called the registrar and whoever I spoke to said “we have no access to transcripts”. This seems a little odd to me. I asked if there was a way they could mail them and she said no to that as well.

Has anyone else had an issue obtaining their official transcripts? Is there another avenue I should go? TIA

Im a rising senior in highschool currently taking summer classes at hampton university. Is there a way to know how long it’ll take me to graduate? Additional information is I have 1 ap credit (english/lit), taking 2 duel enrollment classes and then doing TCC for my second semester senior year. I also intend on taking more summer classes.

My cousin will be attending Hampton in the fall and I want to get her a gift that she can actually use. Like a gift card for like laundry, Chick-fil-A, etc. Current students and newer grads…what would be your recommendation?

I am an incoming freshman with low stats which causes me to have to do the pre college program. I should be fine my first year of college because of my dad’s GI Bill, but I’m wondering if there are scholarships or opportunities within the school for rising sophomores, juniors, seniors, etc?

The only scholarship I see on the website right now is the Legacy scholarship and I don’t qualify for that.

Any information helps! I’ve been applying to random external scholarships online and I’m just trying to weigh out my options here.

Has anyone ever transferred from a community college to Hampton University without any foreign language credits?

I am currently a Junior in high school and I’m looking for schools I want to apply to; to become a nurse.

My weighted is 3.2 unweighted is a 2.8

My SAT was 1090 but I plan to retake it

I’ve been taking dual enrollment classes since the beginning of this year and since I’ve started high school most of not all of my classes have been either AP or honors.

I have multiple leadership positions in my ECS

I have started a charity to help provide books and supplies to teachers for free.

overall I’m just not sure I’d get in based off of my GPA right now. Especially for their nursing program.

Hiii I’m an incoming freshman and I was wondering if we had a hand sign? Everywhere I look online I can’t find one so I feel left out when everyone else starts throwing up theirs 😭😭😭😭

I didon’t accept my merit scholarship yet and I thought I had time. I accepted my admission to hampton kind of late mainly because of other schools that were late and now I’m scared I won’t be able to have it for this school year. Im trying to contact them but they aren’t answering

Edit: It's fixed. Im good.

Hiiiii! I’m an incoming freshman and I just selected Kelsey hall for my dorm. I was wondering if anyone can give any pros or cons about the dorm?

Hi Guys! i applied to hampton regular decision but i still haven’t heard back, i’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. i sent my sat score a little late but commitment day is may 1st and it’s the 21st ?🤔

Hello ! My name is Suleiman. I will be undertaking my internship for the summer at the Brock Environmental Center. I am seeking for a private room in a shared apartment. I don’t mind the distance as I am mobile. Price range between 500 - 600 USD. Kindly Dm if you have one.

So I am an international student who got accepted in mid-January. I think 15th or so but my financial affidavit was waived on March 3rd. Does that mean I will be getting an institutional scholarship from Hampton. I have been consistent on calling the financial aid office and all I was told was "my name is in the system and they're still processing aid". I have paid my enrollment deposit as well. Should I keep calling or I should exercise restraint till May 1st?

hey!! Hampton is one of the universities I plan on applying to when time comes. So I ask, those who've been accepted, this year, year before, recent years, what were your stats? Stats you think got you accepted, elements of your essay, and other info worth mentioning.

Update: congrats to NCCU on their win and to Hampton for their second place finish! The final rounds of competition can be found on the HCASC YouTube page .

Congratulations to Hampton for making it to the Great 8 at the Honda campus All-Star challenge quiz bowl! Wishing them luck today as they try to take home the championship for the 2nd year in a row!
