Accessing and setting up your network accounts
Setting up your Hartwick accounts is your first step in getting ready for campus!
How to activate your username and email
Step 1: Go to https://accounts.hartwick.edu
When prompted, please login using your Hartwick College network username and your default password.
Your default Hartwick College password is h + the ID number provided in your acceptance packet (ex. h1234567). You may be asked to log in twice.
Step 2: Account Verification
Once you have entered your network username and default password and are logged in, you will be prompted to enroll in two of four different verification methods of your choice. Please select one, and then click the button to provide a second verification method and click Next. After completing this, click “Next” (note that if you opt for the “email verification” option, please use a personal email address as opposed to your Hartwick or other institutional email address).
Step 3: Change Your Password
Once your enrollment is verified successfully, please click on the Change Password tab in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. Enter your default password that you used to first sign-in (hxxxxxxx) into the “old password” field, then create a new password following the requirements listed on the webpage. The text field will display a green line underneath it when the requirements for password security are met.
Click “Change Password” to complete the process. You should then see a small green message at the top of the page indicating that the change was successful.
The three steps above are required in order to access your Hartwick email. Once you have completed these steps, you are able to begin working on your next steps!
