Campus Tours
Student-guided campus tours are available to everyone. They generally last one hour. An appointment is not required, but we suggest that you call ahead of time to make sure tours are available on the day you plan to visit.

Campus Tour Schedule:
Monday – Friday
: Year-round: 9, 10, 11 a.m.; 1, 2, 3 p.m. (except January. See above schedule for January).
Saturday* : September 11-mid-May: 9, 10, 11 a.m. (*When the College is open. See the above schedule.)

Please note: There will be no tours when the Board of Admission is closed. During exam periods and breaks, tours depend on student availability. The Admission Office is closed on Saturdays in the summer and will reopen the Saturday following Labor Day.

Information Sessions
An appointment is not necessary, but you should plan to arrive in the Board of Admission lobby in Weaver House about 10 minutes before the session begins. We encourage you to attend an information session before taking a tour. Please note that the 9 am and 1 pm tours overlap with the information sessions held at those times.

Information Session Schedule:
Monday – Friday: April, June, July, August, October: 9 am and 1 pm.

Interview Information
A personal interview is not a required part of Wellesley's application process for most first-year applicants; however, we do strongly recommend it. An interview is required for transfer, accelerating, Davis Scholar, and postbaccalaureate candidates.

On-Campus Interviews
Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Saturday (September-May): 9 a.m. - noon

Please call or email us with your travel plans and interview availability two weeks before your visit. Interviews are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Because the College is closed at various times during the winter holidays, we encourage seniors who are requesting interview times in December to make arrangements by December 1.

Phone: 781-283-2270; Fax: 781-283-3678

Off-Campus Interviews
If you cannot easily visit the campus, we will arrange for an interview with an alumna interviewer near your hometown. Please complete the off-campus interview form.
