We encourage you to visit Porter’s to get a feel for the campus, our community, and a typical day at Porter’s. A typical admission visit will include a tour for you and your parents(s)/guardian(s) with a student tour guide, a class visit, and an interview with one of our Admission Officers. A visit normally lasts 2.5 hours.
In the midst of COVID-19, Porter’s is closely monitoring and following guidance from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, local and state health authorities, and local/state government officials. Currently, we are making adjustments to our processes and protocols for fall admission visitors.
For the most current updates about scheduling a campus visit, please visit our admissions microsite: www.pictureporters.org. For additional information, please contact the Office of Admission at 860-409-3530 or admission@missporters.org.
