Current Impacts to Visit Operations
Candidates & Families:
Unfortunately, the current federal funding lapse does impact our ability to offer Admissions Tours until the shutdown is resolved. Our office will communicate with any currently registered candidates if their current tour date is impacted. Further registration is now closed for tour dates in October out of an abundance of caution. Registration remains open for November/December dates, but this may change.
You may still contact the Visits Office at by phone (845-938-5760) or email (visit@westpoint.edu), but our response times may be delayed. We appreciate your understanding and will keep candidates updated.
