Admissions...On the Road Again!

Our admissions team is excited to be back out on the road again, visiting high schools and attending college fairs. Just in the past few months, these recruitment efforts have already resulted in an increase from last year in applications and acceptances for both the spring 2022 and fall 2022 semesters.

With our new Fast Track initiative, also known as Instant Decision Days, students are able to apply and receive an admissions decision right away.  Potential students learn about Herkimer College, talk to admissions counselors, and find out if they are admitted into their program of choice, all in one day. Upon acceptance, the counselor then walks them through any next steps to be prepared for the coming semester.

Last month, admissions representative Bill Zeiter made a trip to Newburgh Free Academy campuses: Newburgh Main, Newburgh North, and Newburgh West where he conducted an instant decision day, and 100 students are now HERKBound! These students were able to immediately start making plans toward their future.

Admissions has also published a new “meet us on the road” calendar which includes more than 140 high school visits and college fairs for the fall recruitment season. Prospective students are encouraged to view the calendar and sign up to meet with one of our reps.

We look forward to our latest admits visiting Herkimer College and becoming a part of the Herkimer College community.
