SAT/ACT Optional Policy
SAT and ACT scores are optional for both admission to the College and the awarding of academic scholarships. You may decide whether we should consider your test scores when we consider you for admission. If you decide you do not want Hartwick to consider your test scores for admission and you qualify for an academic scholarship, we will also not use your test scores when calculating the amount of your academic award.
