You got in! Here’s what to do next.

Congratulations on your acceptance to Herkimer College! It is such an exciting time - but it can also be a little overwhelming. To help you feel confident and in-the-know, we created this checklist for you to use.

Access your MyHerkimer Account.
Make sure to access your MyHerkimer Account for your Herkimer email, financial aid information and other important items.

Register for Classes.
As opening day for registration approaches, new students will receive instructions via email.  Prior to registration students must submit all required documents (transcripts, GED, evaluation, etc.).  Academic advisors will be working with you to create your class schedule, so you know you're starting off on the right track!

Get Your Student ID Card (optional for online students).
Your photo ID will be taken in the Campus Safety office in the Robert McLaughlin College Center. This should be carried with you at all times on campus, and this is also your meal card for students who have a meal plan.
