Important Announcement: On-Campus Admission Events Cancelled
The impact of COVID-19 has put Carnegie Mellon in the situation of needing to take unprecedented steps to balance our educational mission with the duty to protect the health and well-being of our entire community. We feel that our best chance at limiting the spread of this virus is to implement new policies based on social distancing strategies that health experts recommend.
Effective immediately, all campus tours and information sessions are cancelled until further notice. While we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to those who have previously scheduled visits, our primary focus is the health and safety of our campus community as well as of potential visitors to campus.
Additionally, we will not be hosting any on-campus admitted student programming during April. While we’ve traditionally hosted daily visits and overnight events including Celebration of Diversity and Turn Tartan Overnight, these events have been cancelled out of an abundance of caution. However, we’re looking forward to engaging with our future Tartans virtually throughout the month of April.
If you’re looking for ways to connect with us, we’d encourage you to check out a virtual version of our Information Session, which will provide more information about our colleges and programs, campus community, the city of Pittsburgh, and our admission and financial aid processes. You can experience Carnegie Mellon without ever leaving home. Additionally, you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to stay up-to-date with the Office of Admission.
We'll also be adding more opportunities to connect virtually to our website, so check back regularly. And as always, we're available via email, phone and chat during normal business hours.
You can find more information about the university's response to COVID-19 here. Please don't hesitate to contact the Office of Admission with any questions or concerns.
For groups/organizations of 10 or more students/visitors wishing to visit campus please visit our Group Visits page for specific information.
Due to security guidelines and space constraints, the Office of Admission will not be able to store any luggage or personal belongings during your visit. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask you to plan accordingly.
