Your Skidmore story starts now.
You shared stories of your accomplishments and triumphs. We heard your inspirations and dreams and visions for your future self. And we came to an exciting conclusion: We believe in you!

If you’re ready to get going, enroll today and confirm your spot in the Class of 2025! If you’re still thinking it through we invite you to use this page as a starting point to answering and exploring the questions and opportunities you have ahead of you.

We’ve created an impressive lineup of virtual programs in March and April for you and your family, including accepted candidate days, campus life student panels, and opportunities to connect with professors from all of our academic majors and programs.
Here is a complete schedule of upcoming virtual events and registration opportunities.

We encourage you to take a limited-capacity, in-person, outdoor campus tour this spring, which we are offering in compliance with current state and local health and safety protocols. In addition to our virtual tour, you may want to sign-up for a live, personalized virtual campus tour with an Admissions Ambassador, including arts- and science-focused options.
