We encourage admitted students to visit campus anytime for an information session and student-guided tour. Here, you’ll have the chance to hear from admissions counselors and current students to learn about academics, unique opportunities and student life at Lehigh.

All visitors to campus agree to adhere to the University’s safety policies and protocols. Failure to do so will result in an immediate request to leave the campus. Please review the information shared below about the expectations and policies in place for visitors prior to registering for an event or visiting campus.

All visitors to campus should adhere to the following safety protocols:

  • The day of your visit, all visitors must monitor their symptoms and not come to campus if they are feeling sick. Any member of your party should stay home if:
    • they have tested positive for COVID-19
    • are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
    • they have come in close contact with a person who has symptoms of or has tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days
       
  • Masks are optional indoors and outdoors on Lehigh campuses, with the exception of the Health and Wellness Center and in specific contexts where masking is required by event organizers or instructors. In these situations signage and/or other means will be used to communicate this requirement. Each member of your party should have a mask on hand at all times and must abide by the mask requirements of a particular location, facility, or event if applicable, regardless of their vaccination status. Our office reserves the right to institute a masking requirement at our discretion and for any particular portion or the whole duration of the visit, without prior notification.

    Some visitors or members of our community will choose to voluntarily wear a mask for personal safety, medical or other reasons. We encourage visitors to support one another in those decisions and to not make anyone feel stigmatized for wearing a mask.
     
  • Visitors are welcome to enter most academic buildings and can dine in on-campus eateries on weekdays during the day.

Failure to follow these safety requirements will result in immediate request to leave campus.
