Out-of-County Students
Out-of-county (Non-Herkimer County) resident students are required to have a high school average of 68 or higher or a GED (now, "TASC") test score of 2400 or more. Those out-of-county students failing to meet this criteria will not be accepted to the College; however, they may appeal based on extenuating circumstances (Contact Admissions for Appeal Form).
Alternatives to this admission requirement include:
• Scoring 500 or more on each of the English and Math sections of the SAT
• Scoring a 21 or higher composite score on the ACT
• Transferring to Herkimer College with six or more college credits (not developmental courses) with a 2.0 GPA or higher
The College reserves the right to review other admissions criteria for out-of-county students.
