Hartwick College welcomes applications for transfer students for either the fall or spring semesters. We value the experience and maturity that transfer students bring with them. Our goal is to offer a hassle-free transfer process, consideration of as much transfer credit as possible, and an easy transition into Hartwick’s welcoming community.
The Admissions process and the educational experience at Hartwick have always been highly personal. We look forward to learning your story.
We know you’ve worked hard to get here. That’s why Hartwick awards generous academic merit scholarships for transfer students in recognition of all you’ve accomplished.
Hartwick College has partnered with CollegeSource to provide you with a tool to help understand how the courses you’ve already taken can help you get ahead. This Transfer Equivalency System (TES) is intended as a guide for prospective transfer students. A few notes about the TES:

Hartwick College is a residential liberal arts and sciences college. The Office of Residential Life and Housing offers our residential students a variety of experiential learning opportunities to support their academic, social, and personal success. We believe a Hartwick education is the result of curricular and co-curricular experiences in class, on campus, and in the residence halls. As such, all students are required to live on campus through their senior year. For more information about living at Hartwick, visit the Residential Life and Housing Policies page.
Hartwick College offers fine academic programs in music and art, as well as a range of extracurricular activities in both fields, and a lively array of cultural events and organizations (including our own museum — with a gallery that shows student art!).
In addition to our regular admission criteria, students planning to major in music are required to have an audition. While a portfolio is not required for admission to the art department, it is encouraged.

If you were previously accepted to Hartwick and wish to re-activate your application, you must contact the admissions office. While your previous admission to the College will be in your favor, it does not guarantee admittance to the College as a transfer applicant.
In addition to meeting all stated application requirements, home-schooled students must submit proof of high school diploma or GED.
