These 60-minute student-led campus tours introduce visitors to our academic facilities.  

Only those with appointments will be able to tour campus. If you are unable to schedule an in-person tour, we encourage you to take our virtual tour and connect with us through one of our many additional online events. 

Upon checking in for an in-person event:

• The New School has partnered with CLEAR to use Health Pass, an online tool that safely and simply provides proof of COVID-19 vaccination and testing. For the most efficient entry possible, all guests should download the CLEAR app and complete the checklist for entry requirements before coming to campus.
• Guests and visitors must provide one of the following: proof of up-to-date vaccination, including a booster when eligible; a negative result from a PCR test taken within three days before arrival; or a negative result from a rapid test taken the same day.
• Wearing a mask is strongly recommended but not required on campus.
