Life Balance Credit
At Hartwick, we don’t only offer extensive opportunities to create the ideal life balance — we provide the resources and financial encouragement to help your student get there. Hartwick students dedicated to developing a balanced lifestyle through career planning, outdoor recreation, club participation and other well-rounded activities can earn a $250 credit on their bill for the semester — that’s $2,000 over a four-year college career. Activities that count toward the Life Balance Credit include, but are not limited to:
- Hiking local trails
- Meeting with your advisor
- Attending sporting events
- Meeting with the Career Center
- Participating in charitable events
- Attending a campus-sponsored concert or art exhibit
- Mentoring an incoming freshman

From your student’s first day as a Hawk, they’ll build on what they’ve learned and how they’ve changed, with key professional milestones that help them grow toward their goals. They’ll fine-tune their objectives and prepare for what’s next. Leveraging the resources of our Career Development Center, they’ll be ready to create a successful, well-balanced future.
