Frequently Asked Questions for Group Tours
Our Events Team will contact you within the next week to discuss scheduling a visit.
Group tours are typically for students and their school/organization chaperones. We also coordinate group tours for school counselors.
Please contact the Events staff if parents are interested in attending.
We are offering virtual and in-person group visits. If you are participating in a virtual group visit, there are no restrictions on the maximum number of students that can participate. If you have requested an in-person group visit, the capacity is a maximum of 50 students and up to 4 chaperones. We still ask that you provide at least one adult chaperone for every fifteen students for both in-person and virtual visits.
Our policy is that groups must be accompanied by at least one adult chaperone per fifteen students if possible. All chaperones must remain with the group at all times, including the entire campus tour.
Both in-person and virtual group visits include a personalized welcome, an information session and a campus tour. You can also opt to have lunch on campus if your visit is in-person.

The in-person campus tour involves one of our student ambassadors providing a tour of our Garden City Campus. The virtual campus tour is a live 360-view tour of our beautiful 75 acre campus. Tour times range from 45 – 60 minutes and will show campus life, academia, and potentially a residence hall.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Adelphi University require that all events be accessible.

Yes, we are now offering the option to purchase lunch on campus for group visits depending on the size of the group. If the group is too large to have lunch in one of our cafeterias or dining halls, lunch can be ordered through our catering office. You can also bring your own lunch to eat on campus.
