Legacy Advising Sessions give alumni and legacies deeper insights about Penn's application process and the college search process in general. These advising sessions are open to any alumni family thinking about the college process. Since the ACA has helpful academic and application advice, our resources are most helpful before an application has been submitted to Penn.  Legacy Advising Sessions are held in the E. Craig Sweeten Alumni House, 3533 Locust Walk.

(PLEASE NOTE: On Saturday, November 7, 2009, for Homecoming Weekend, the Legacy Advising Sessions will be held at 9:45am and 1:15pm in College Hall 200.)

The Admissions Information Session is a one-hour introduction to Penn’s academic programs and extra-curricular activities. A one-hour campus tour will follow.  To participate in the Admissions Info Session and Campus Tour, report directly to the Undergraduate Admissions Office, 1 College Hall.

Fall Schedule: You are welcome to visit the campus when it best fits your schedule, but we encourage you to beat the rush and visit us over the summer! The autumn brings lots of families to Penn for a campus visit, particularly on Saturdays and when secondary schools have holidays. Don't forget, our advice is most helpful before you submit your application!
