Course Offerings & Registration

You can easily plan and register for courses in Self-Service. Please visit our Hartlink site for extensive training documents and videos. Note that courses requiring permission cannot be registered electronically- these courses must be registered in the Office of the Registrar with the correct form. All forms are available on our forms web site.

A few weeks before registration, start doing the following:

1. Resolve any account holds and update your emergency contact info.
2. Find your priority registration time.
3. Review your progress.
4. Plan some courses.
5. Schedule a meeting with your advisor to review your plan.

Yes, a student may enroll in up to 18 credits in the fall and spring terms and up to 5 credits in January term without permission. An over-election fee is charged for each credit over 18 in fall and spring terms, and over 4 in January, unless the student is declared in the Three Year Degree program.

Students in the Three Year Degree program may enroll in up to 20 credits in the fall and spring terms without permission or over-election fee. Students enrolled in Music or Music Education may enroll in required Music Performance courses beyond 18 credits without permission or over-election fee.

Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.000 or higher may petition the Registrar’s Office for permission to enroll in additional credits beyond the policy limits, if approved by an academic advisor.The Registrar will review the petition and notify the student, in writing, if approved or denied.

Courses marked with a dollar sign ($) carry an additional course fee. Fees are also listed in Self-Service.

Adding a course after the add/drop period incurs a late add fee. To view a schedule of these and other fees on the Student Accounts web site, click here.

Physical Education courses marked with a ‘Z’ in the section are second half courses, those without are first half courses. This is also true for a handful of Art courses. However, the most effective way to determine when a course starts and ends is to bring the course up in Self-Service and check out the Meeting Information.

All of this information is available in Self-Service.

Senior project/thesis that are labeled ‘490’ (capstones can be registered electronically if not designated ‘instructor permission required’), independent and directed studies, course repeats, internships, courses that are closed, courses that require instructor permission and courses that conflict. All of these courses must be registered using the appropriate form found on this web site or in the Registrar’s Office. Note that your advisor or the instructor cannot register you for these types of courses – you need to process the transactions with the Registrar’s Office.

After several years of assessing the electronic registration system, we made the decision to remove elements of the course schedule at registration that were frustrating students. This included removing courses that, per Hartwick policy, couldn’t be registered electronically and were causing some degree of confusion. Questions about these registrations should be addressed to the Registrar’s Office.

Hartwick’s academic divisions are Humanities, Physical and Life Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Look for courses with course types like GEO, EL, WL3 or ILS using the catalog search function in Self-Service. Choose Course Type to filter by tag.

To enroll in a CIC course, start by searching for available courses on the CIC site. If the course fulfills a major or minor requirement, you must obtain approval from the department chair and the Registrar’s Office; for elective or general education credit, only Registrar’s Office approval is needed. Submit the Non-Hartwick Course Approval form to process your request. Once approved, we will submit your enrollment request through Acadeum and notify you upon successful registration. Be sure to monitor your Hartwick College email for important instructions from the offering institution. After course completion, your grade will either be recorded automatically or require an official transcript submission, depending on the course type.
