We apologize for the inconvenience; however, social distancing and avoidance of unnecessary travel are both strong counters to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and support the health and wellness of our community and prospective students alike.
While we're disappointed to not see you in-person, we're excited to share our virtual resources with you. We encourage you to explore our diverse and vibrant community through our new virtual campus tour and get some helpful tips and practical advice on how to approach the college application process.
Visit Programs
Information sessions, led by Admissions Officers, offer an overview of Penn and insight into the undergraduate admissions process. Campus tours, led by current Penn students in the Kite and Key Society, complement the information session and are the best source of information about the undergraduate student experience. If this is your first visit to Penn, we encourage you to take advantage of both.
