Readmission (from Withdrawal, Academic Dismissal or for a Second Degree)

Any student who has withdrawn, been academically dismissed from the institution or is interested in returning to complete a second degree after graduation is eligible to apply for readmission. A student applying for readmission must submit a readmission application at least 15 business days prior to the start of a term.

To be considered for readmission, a student must complete the following steps prior to the desired term of reentry:

  1. Complete and submit the Application for Readmission form to the Office of the Registrar.
  2. Request that official transcripts from colleges or universities attended while away from Hartwick College to be sent to the Office of the Registrar at least one week prior to the start of the desired reentry term.
  3. If you are applying for readmission from an academic dismissal you must provide an additional essay describing any and all activities in which you have been engaged during your time away from Hartwick that you believe will contribute positively to achieving your academic goals.

The readmission review process begins when all application materials have been received. Readmission applications are reviewed by the Registrar and Dean of Student Life.

*Please note: A student who was academically dismissed is eligible to apply readmission through the Office of the Registrar with acceptance decisions subject to approval by CAS.

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 75 of their prior Hartwick credits may be applied toward the new degree.
