Visiting CISA
We are open for visits year-round and can personalize the experience according to your needs. To follow the recommendations put forth by our health authorities and government, all visitors to campus will need to fill out a questionnaire prior to the visit answering the following three questions:
- Do I have any of the COVID-19 symptoms: cough, fever, difficulty breathing, or sudden loss of smell?
- Have I returned from a trip outside the country within the last 14 days?
- Have I been in contact with someone with COVID-19 within the last 14 days?
If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes,’ we will not be able to permit your entry onto our campus.
In addition, all visitors must wear a mask and abide by physical distancing parameters while on our campus.
Virtual Visit
If you are unable to come for an in-person tour please contact our Admissions team who would be happy to offer alternative ways to learn about our campus or check out our virtual visit options.
