In-person Visit Options

In-person Admissions visits are available, with protocols designed to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Visits include your choice of one of the following:

• A combined visit, with a 30-minute information session followed by a 75-minute campus tour
• A standalone 75-minute campus tour
• A 45-minute facility tour of engineering and athletics spaces

We care about the health and safety of our visitors and staff and would like to remind you of the following visit guidelines:

• Registration: Advance registration is required. Unfortunately, we likely cannot accommodate unregistered guests during information sessions and tours. (For these visitors, we suggest our self-guided audio tour or driving tour.)
• Location and parking: Once on campus, please park in a visitor-designated parking lot and make your way to the Office of Admissions at Freas Hall (One Dent Drive). If visiting between May 23 and Aug. 11, 2022, head to the Weis Center for the Performing Arts (525 Weis Drive).
• Face covering policy: Please bring a face covering for your visit. Bucknell's face covering requirements follow CDC guidelines, based on current rates of transmission of COVID-19 in Union County. Face coverings are required in all public and academic indoor campus spaces when transmission rates are high, but not when transmission rates are low or medium. View Bucknell's current status.
• Capacity: To promote the health and safety of student ambassadors, staff and guests, each tour will strive to be small and socially distanced.
