 Student Leadership and Involvement
The Center for Student Leadership & Involvement is responsible for planning, implementing, and coordinating co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and programs-in addition to supervising and assisting student clubs and organizations.
The mission of the Center for Student Leadership & Involvement is to help promote personal and professional growth in a fun and exciting educational environment. The goal is to help students make the most of their college experience outside the classroom through participation in organizations and activities.
The Faculty-Student Association (FSA) sponsors all active student clubs and organizations on campus. Student clubs are open to all interested students.
College Regulations and Student Conduct
Procedures relating to “Rules and Regulations for Maintenance of Public Order,” the “Student Code of Conduct” and “Hearing Procedures,” are available on-line annually in the Student Handbook and made available to all students. Additionally, an “Academic Dishonesty Procedure” and a formal “Grievance Procedure” for the benefit of the College’s students and employees are outlined as well. All students should become familiar with these policies and statements. Failure to read these important sections of the Student Handbook will not excuse the student from any violations of these College policies. Employees and students are also encouraged to read and be familiar with the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Policy.
The authority and jurisdiction of the College to discipline students under the terms of the Student Code of Conduct shall extend to misconduct which occurs on or off campus which may adversely affect the interests of the College and/or the safety and wellbeing of members of the College community.
Students are expected to maintain standards of conduct that will reflect credit to the College and the community in accordance with the adopted policies. Student athletes must meet NJCAA academic standards and abide by a special code of conduct for athletes to retain their eligibility to participate in athletics.
Herkimer College has a formal discrimination and harassment policy for the benefit of its employees and students. This policy will be used for the review of allegations employees or students have against other employees or students of Herkimer College. A complaint may be filed for any unlawful discrimination against someone in regard to race, color, religion, gender, age, creed, national origin, marital status, disability or any other characteristic protected by federal or state law.

Residence Life and Housing
Herkimer College provides students the opportunity to enhance their academic experience by being contributing members of their residential community. By living on campus, students are able to establish a sense of belonging, develop critical thinking skills, make ethical decisions, and assume self-responsibility.
The Herkimer College Housing Corporation manages residence life and housing. There are three on-campus residential communities for students (College Hill, Campus Meadows and Reservoir Run), with a total occupancy of just over 600 students.
The residential community has live-in staff members to assist students residing on campus. Resident assistants are fellow students who also live in each apartment building and are responsible for the supervision of that building. They are trained as counselors, community builders, problem-solvers and activity planners. Area coordinators are full-time, live-in professional staff members who supervise the resident assistants and have overall management responsibility for a specific community. The entire housing and residence life function is managed by the Director of Residence Life.
Each apartment is completely furnished and includes a refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Each apartment is also equipped with cable service and high-speed internet.
For more information about residence life and housing, contact the Herkimer College Housing Corporation Office at (315) 867-2222.
