In Person Instruction Planned for 2021-22 Academic Year

Herkimer County Community College is planning to return to in-person instruction for the 2021-22 academic year. Students can expect to receive a more traditional college experience, with the majority of classes being held face-to-face at the start of the Fall 2021 semester.

"While we are optimistic about the fall, we will of course continue to monitor the situation, as the health and safety of students, staff, and faculty are and will remain our priority," said Cathleen McColgin, president of Herkimer College. "Our plans to return to in-person class delivery will be contingent on positivity rates and guidance from SUNY, the CDC, and local and state public health agencies."

All necessary steps for getting classrooms, laboratory spaces, and other facilities ready for the fall semester will be taken in accordance with guidance from SUNY and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At this time, the College plans to return to normal on-campus housing procedures and occupancies within its three apartment-style residence halls for the Fall 2021 semester.
