Special Students (Non-Degree Seeking, Part Time Students)

In special cases students who are not matriculated at Hartwick or other institutions may be admitted as part-time students (taking no more than 8 credits in the fall and spring terms, and 4 credits in January term). The standards for admission for special students are comparable to those that govern those who apply for matriculated status.

Students with no Hartwick affiliation desiring special student status must contact the Admissions Office for an application. High school (or equivalent) students wishing to enroll must contact the Office of Academic Affairs for an application. Students with a Hartwick affiliation (spouse, parent, etc.) desiring special student status must contact the Office of Office of the Registrar for an application. Special students will be required to provide official collegiate transcripts and may be requested to provide official high school transcripts with test scores prior to admission. Upon acceptance, students may register in classes on a space-available basis, with instructor approval, assuming they have satisfied course prerequisites.

Special students must submit a special student application each term in order to remain active. If an application is not received for the term immediately following the first term a student registers for a course, he or she is made inactive.
