Please note, if you have already applied to the University, you most likely do not need to attend a session. We encourage you to contact the academic department(s) you're interested in to learn more about their availability on the date of your visit!

Online reservations are now available, please select the link located at the top of this page.

Please note that Information Sessions last for about 40 minutes, allowing adequate time for guests to also participate in a Campus Tour.

Information Sessions are not offered during the following time periods: Nov 24-27, 2011 and Dec 19, 2011-Jan 2, 2012.

Don't miss the Information Session. Please check-in at the Visitors Center at least 15 minutes prior to the session to obtain the daily room location, parking and directions.

Meet a Current Student

Speak with a Student Admissions Representative about various aspects of college life. Student Admissions Representatives can provide information about the University and share their own personal experiences with a prospective student. Contact the Visitors Center at 413-545-0306 to schedule this opportunity to meet a current student and experience an informal non-evaluative interview. The 15-minute interviews can be scheduled in advance of your visit and take place Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Please note, due to the high volume of visitors throughout the month of April, we will not be hosting informational interviews.

Parking

To allow sufficient time for parking, please arrive at the Visitors Center at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled tour or information session. You may temporarily park your vehicle in the 15 minute spots behind the Visitors Center; bring your license plate information with you when you check in with our receptionist. You will be given a parking pass and directed to move your car to the appropriate lot.
