Admission Events

The Office of Admission offers online appointments for prospective applicants and family members who would like to meet individually with an admission counselor to identify best-fit programs and discuss the admission process. 

Limited in-person undergraduate admission appointments will be available on our New York campus on Fridays this fall. Though occasional requests for virtual admission appointments may be accommodated, the majority of our admission team will be busy participating in on-site and virtual recruitment events this fall and we encourage you to meet us at one of those events

These 60-minute student-led campus tours introduce visitors to our academic facilities. 

Only those with appointments will be able to tour campus. If you are unable to schedule an in-person tour, we encourage you to take our virtual tour and connect with us through one of our many additional online events. 

Upon checking in for an in-person event:

• The New School has partnered with CLEAR to use Health Pass, an online tool that safely and simply provides proof of COVID-19 vaccination and testing. For the most efficient entry possible, all guests should download the CLEAR app and complete the checklist for entry requirements before coming to campus.
• Guests and visitors must provide one of the following: proof of up-to-date vaccination, including a booster when eligible; a negative result from a PCR test taken within three days before arrival; or a negative result from a rapid test taken the same day.
• Wearing a mask is strongly recommended but not required on campus.

Schedule an Undergraduate Tour

These events are open fairs for prospective undergraduate students, at which Admission representatives staff a table on behalf of The New School. They serve as an initial point of contact between students and colleges without students needing to travel to visit the college itself, allowing them to interact with admission representatives from a wide range of post-secondary institutions.

We invite prospective students to join us for a scheduled online chat with a New School tour guide. These online events feature members of our student team discussing their experience as New Schoolers.
