Should you be in need of any accommodations during your visit, you can indicate this in the registration form. Registration for tours closes 24 hours in advance so that we can ensure your registration is captured for our campus access requirement. All students are limited to two guests for the tour. If you have any additional guests joining your visit to campus (such as a sibling), please fill out the self-guided tour option for the additional guest(s) so that we can pre-register them for campus access.

We welcome visitors who would like to take a self-guided tour, to visit campus as an alumna, or make a trip to the Barnard Store. Registration for tours closes 24 hours in advance so that we can ensure your registration is captured for our campus access requirement.
