The Hartwick College Rolling Admissions Program
Hartwick reviews all applications on a rolling basis regardless of when the application is submitted. This means we do not pool applications and release them together at a future date. We review them as we receive them in order to be as transparent as possible and to alleviate stress for our students and families.
Beginning in mid-October applicants who submit an application and all supporting documents can expect to receive an admissions and merit scholarship decision within two weeks.
Please review the requirements for a completed application or reach out to your admissions counselor if you would like to talk further.
Visa Information
Here are some FAQ about Visas. If you need assistance, please contact International Student Services in our Office of Global Education.
International Student Services
A visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry and request permission from the U.S. immigration officer to enter the United States. It does not guarantee entry into the U.S.
Most non-U.S. citizens who wish to study in the U.S. will seek an F-1 (non-immigrant) student visa, but there are other visa types that are sometimes authorized for those who study in the U.S.
- F-1 or Student Visa: This visa is the most common for those who wish to engage in academic studies in the U.S. It is for people who want to study at an accredited U.S. college or university or to study English at a university or intensive English language institute.
- J-1 or Exchange Visa: This visa is for people who will be participating in an exchange visitor program in the U.S. The “J” visa is for education and cultural exchange programs.
- M-1 or Student Visa: This visa is for those who will be engaged in non-academic or vocational study or training at an institution in the U.S.
- Once you pay your enrollment deposit to Hartwick College, you will receive an I-20 AB form that will be completed by Global Education, the Designated School Official and International Student Advisor. Once you receive the appropriate paperwork, you will need to sign the I-20, pay the Visa Fee called I-901 and then schedule a visa appointment with your closest U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate.
