Quick Links
Welcome back to Hartwick College!
If you are a former student looking to return, please follow these steps for readmission. These steps must be completed at least 15 business days before your desired reentry date or you will not be eligible:
- Fill out and submit the Application for Readmission (available on the Registrar’s Office forms page).
- Request official transcripts from any colleges or universities attended while away from Hartwick College be sent to the Office of the Registrar.
- Contact Financial Aid and Student Accounts to discuss your cost of attendance and financial aid eligibility (mandatory for students returning with a cumulative GPA below 2.000).
- Reach out to the Office of Residential Life and Housing to explore your housing options.
Please note, readmission is not guaranteed. Upon receipt of your application, the Registrar’s Office will initiate the review process. Your application will be evaluated by various offices, including Student Accounts, Financial Aid, Student Conduct and others, to assess your eligibility for readmission.
A student who desires to return to Hartwick College after being away for a period of time that exceeded the maximum leave period must apply for readmission.
Students that do not complete all degree requirements by the time of their Anticipated Completion Date (ACD) are unofficially withdrawn from the College prior to the start of the next term. A student who has been unofficially withdrawn must apply for readmission.
A student who has graduated from Hartwick and wishes to return to complete a second degree must apply for readmission through the Registrar’s Office. Upon readmission the student is considered a transfer and up to 90 of their prior Hartwick credits may be applied toward the new degree.
Students who have been placed on Academic Leave or academically dismissed can apply to return to Hartwick College after one full Fall or Spring term on leave or dismissal. To be eligible for return, students must demonstrate readiness for serious academic work by completing a minimum of 6 academic credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.500 and no grade below a C at an accredited institution. Approval from the Office of the Registrar ([email protected] or 607-431-4460) is required to take courses at another institution for the purpose of returning to Hartwick College.
Requests to return from Academic Leave or dismissal should be directed to the Office of the Registrar ([email protected] or 607-431-4460). Students who do not return after an Academic Leave has expired must apply for an Official Withdrawal through the Office of the Registrar. Failure to return or apply for an Official Withdrawal will result in being Unofficially Withdrawn when the Academic Leave expires.
If courses are taken at a different college or university during the period of absence, you may ask to transfer these credits upon your return. If the institution and courses are suitable, courses with grades of C or better may be transferred.
