Student Success Center

Every Hartwick College student deserves a chance to soar. At our Student Success Center, you’ll find people who have one goal in mind: to support your academic accomplishments and help build your confidence.

Located above the Stevens-German Library on the 5th Floor and on the 2nd Floor along with the Archives, the Student Success Center contains open and inviting spaces with cozy seating for conversations or reading, and small tables where you can work alone or on a group project with new friends.

Hours

Student Success Coaches are available Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Study Spaces on the 2nd & 5th Floors of Yager Hall are open during the hours below:

Monday-Thursday:  8:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m.

Friday:  8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Saturday:  12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.

More than just a quiet space, the Student Success Center has the people and resources you’ll need to address any academic challenge. Academic counselors will help you set academic goals and support your progress. A peer tutor may be just the ally you need to move through a difficult class or subject area – they’ve been there and are ready to help.

Our dedicated AccessAbility Services staff will help ensure you get what you need. Note-takers, readers, and private spaces for test-taking are all available to you, in full compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

At Hartwick, there’s no reason to face academic challenges alone. The Student Success Center offers programs, including Success Strategies and JumpStart, to put you back on the path toward achieving your goals. Workshops on study strategies and test-taking will help you develop better time management and create organization techniques that work for you. It’s all about developing skills that will bring you success at Hartwick and throughout your life.
