Special message regarding admission visit programming:

In order to ensure the health and well-being of our campus community and our prospective students and their families, Colgate University must cancel upcoming admission visit programming in concert with the University’s response plan to COVID-19 until further notice.

While information sessions and tours are cancelled, our team remains committed to providing you and your family with the most comprehensive look into life at Colgate. We invite you to take advantage of our virtual tour and virtual information sessions, explore our academic offerings, and most importantly, connect with your regional Admission Officer, who can answer questions you have about the Colgate experience, and connect you with other campus resources.

Virtual Interviews

Our virtual tour and information session are a great introduction to Colgate University, but we know you may have additional questions or desire additional perspective. Virtual interviews are an opportunity to meet 1:1 with a current Colgate student to have your questions answered, and gain valuable insight from those that know Colgate best. Register for a virtual interview today.

Interviews are not evaluative nor required for admission.

The campus and its surroundings are inspiring.
