Information Sessions

Information Sessions are conducted by admissions staff members and provide an excellent opportunity to learn about the college’s distinctive mission and programs, faculty and student experiences, and the admission, scholarship and financial-aid processes.

Information Sessions are typically conducted by admissions staff members at 10:15 a.m. Monday through Friday. An additional information session at 2:15 p.m. is available on Mondays and Fridays during the months of April and June. We will not offer Information Sessions on May 29, June 2 and 3.

Campus Tours

Our tour guides typically conduct tours Monday through Friday at 9 and 11 a.m. and 1, 2 and 3 p.m. To confirm availability and schedule a campus tour in advance, please call us at 800-644-1773.

Student volunteers (the Liberty Cap Society) will show you around and answer any questions you may have. You’ll get a glimpse inside a residence hall, some academic buildings and other facilities like the Holland Union Building (student center), the Kline Center (athletics facilities) and the Waidner-Spahr Library.

On-campus Interviews

Interviews are optional, but they are a useful tool for determining a student's "fit" with the college. We encourage you to bring an unofficial transcript and activities resumé to the meeting. Interviews last approximately 35 minutes and are conducted by admissions counselors and trained student interviewers.

Interviews are typically offered on campus Monday through Friday at 1:15, 2:15 and 3:15 p.m. for rising seniors only. To confirm availability and schedule an interview in advance, please call us at 800-644-1773. We will not offer interviews on May 29 or June 2 and 3 or July 25.

Forum

Dickinson is a community of students, faculty and staff where ideas matter. While application essays, as a way to discover how you think, are an important part of the admission process, our personal interaction with you is critical to the college selection. As an alternative to the standard admission interview, Dickinson offers prospective students the opportunity to participate in Forum.

Forum typically is available Monday through Friday at 11:15 a.m. during the month of April and is limited to eight students. Please schedule a Forum session at least two weeks in advance and verify availability by calling 800-644-1773. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.  The Forum sessions will not be offered during the months of May, June, and July however the program will be commencing again in August for seniors only.

Off-campus Interviews

If you are unable to schedule an on-campus interview or Forum session, off-campus interviews may be available in your area. Off-campus interviews are conducted by trained alumni and parent volunteers, admissions counselors and student interviewers. To confirm availability and schedule an off-campus interview in advance, please call us at 800-644-1773.

Off-campus interviews are only offered from mid-September through the end of January.

These interviews must be requested at least three weeks before the application program deadline by which you are applying.
