One major, endless possibilities to visit ILR and the Cornell campus

The ILR School and Cornell University admissions information programs and tours are offered throughout the year.

ILR Information Sessions

Prospective first year and transfer students are encouraged to visit campus and attend an ILR information session, offered Monday – Friday at 2:30 p.m. in 216 Ives Hall. This session introduces you to the ILR curriculum, student, career and graduate school advising, internship, student organization and international opportunities, and the admissions and financial aid process. Admissions counselors and/or undergraduate student admissions ambassadors lead each session.

To register to attend an information session, contact ILR Undergraduate Admissions at 607-255-2222 or ilr_admissions@cornell.edu. Information sessions are not offered from December 10 through January 20.

ILR does not offer or require personal interviews for freshman prospects.

ILR Class Visits

Attend classes throughout the semester to experience ILR's curriculum firsthand (please note: classroom visits are not offered on Fridays). Visitors should plan to arrive five minutes prior to the start of class to let the professor know that they are visiting. Visitors should plan to stay for the entire class.

ILR Hosting Program

Stay in a residence hall, watch an athletic event, sit in on a student organization meeting, or tour ILR and campus with a current ILR student! If you would like to arrange an overnight stay or have lunch with an ILR student, please send an email to ilr_admissions@cornell.edu with the dates you plan to visit and your phone number. Please contact us at least two weeks before your visit to ensure we have time to arrange a host.

Fall Visit Days

Information on ILR's Fall 2013 Visit Days will be posted toward the end of the summer. 

Cornell Campus Tours and Admissions Information Sessions

The Office of Campus Information and Visitor Relations offers guided walking tours of the campus throughout the year. Campus tours are an enjoyable and informative introduction to Cornell history, the seven undergraduate colleges, student life, athletics, dining, and Cornell's combined roles as an undergraduate teaching institution, an international research university, and land-grant institution.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions hosts general information sessions, which operate independently of the campus tours. Visit admissions.cornell.edu for the schedule and to make a reservation.

Campus Parking Information

If you plan to attend an admissions program or take a campus tour, plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start and stop by one of the four staffed Visitor and Parking Information Booths at the main entrances to campus. Information booths are staffed from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm. Identify yourself as an admissions guest and you will be given, at no charge, a parking permit, campus map and directions to park in the area designated for admissions visitors.
