Latest Announcements
Princeton, like other universities across the world, is actively engaged in efforts to prepare for and mitigate the impacts from COVID-19 (commonly known as coronavirus). Our top priority is to support the health and well-being of our community as we continue to advance our teaching and research mission. Below are the lastest announcements on University developments and updates.
Campus Visits 2021
Please note: The Office of Admission will not be hosting on-campus tours and information sessions during the months of July and August. The Admission Information Center is closed until late August. On-campus tours will resume in late September.
Prospective students are welcome to visit campus and enjoy our outdoor facilities; however, per University policy, visitors will not have access to buildings on campus. We encourage you to take advantage of our self-guided campus tour via your smartphone, sign up for a guided Orange Key Tour or register for a virtual information session.
Important Information About Standardized Testing and the Application Deadline

Will my admission be negatively impacted if I cannot participate in an in-person campus visit?
No. We do not measure demonstrated interest, nor do we consider campus visits or engagement with our office when evaluating an applicant. The virtual programming being offered is designed to help you gain a better understanding of Princeton University.
Can I connect with a current student?
Please check back. We hope to have a program in place in the near future. In the interim, we invite you to learn about life at Princeton from our student bloggers, many of whom include their email address in their bio to connect with prospective students.
Can I sit in on a virtual class?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate this request at this time.
