Hi all! Started looking at Herkimer College. Anyone know about their admissions process? I'm trying to figure out when I should start applying and what they're expecting. Thanks in advance!
Sure, I’d be happy to provide a rundown of Herkimer’s general admissions process. Generally speaking, Herkimer College offers a rolling admission process, so you can apply at any time.
1. Application: Herkimer College utilizes the SUNY Application, which is available online. Complete and submit the application.
2. Transcripts: Official high school transcripts or GED/TASC scores should be sent to Herkimer College’s Admissions Office. If you've taken any college credit courses during high school, you should also submit those transcripts.
3. Standardized Tests: Although the college suggests SAT or ACT scores for placement purposes, they are not required for admission. Should you decide to send them to aid in class placement, you'll need to request official score reports from the College Board (for SAT) or ACT.
4. Recommendation Letter: Although not required, you may wish to submit a letter of recommendation, especially if you feel it strengthens your application.
5. Paying the Application Fee: There is a small one-time fee to apply. It can be paid online through the application platform.
After completing the application, you should receive notification of your admission status within a few weeks. If you're admitted, you'll also receive information about your next steps, like registering for classes, securing housing if you intent to stay on campus, and finalizing your financial aid.
Good luck with your application!
