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 … so you can be cleared to register!

Yes, students can register for up to 20 credits in fall/spring, 4 credits in January and are limited to one course per summer session. A petition to the Committee on Academic Standards is required to register above these limits. Exceptions to the summer session one course limit should be directed to the Dean of Academic Affairs. There is an over-election fee for each credit hour over 18 credits fall and spring semester, or over 4 credit hours in January, unless the student is declared in the Three Year Degree program. For those in the Three Year Degree program, the over-election fee is charged for credits over 20 in fall and spring semester, or over 4 credit hours in January. See Tuition and Fees for over-election charge.

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.
