There was no matricula before the charter in 1802, and no precise record of the names of student who entered during the first twelve years of the life of the College has been preserved. Rev. John Inglis, who was the first to enter the Academy in 1788, wrote, "It is believed that more than Two Hundred persons entered the Institution before the Charter was obtained. NO MATRICULA was kept; but more than a hundred of these persons desired to pursue a Collegiate course.

In recent years, signing the Matricula has been considered the final step in registering at King's.
