Plan Your Visit

Yes! You’re welcome to download the self-guided tour and explore the building on your own. If you have any questions before or after your visit, please feel free to contact us. 

There are a number of lodging options close to campus. The closest hotels are the Faculty Club, Women’s Faculty Club, Bancroft Hotel, and the Graduate Hotel. A longer list of lodging options, prices, and distance from campus can be found here or here. Information about arriving from the airport, transportation, and parking can be found here. 

If you plan to come for an in-person visit, please know that the expectation for anyone coming to campus as a visitor or invited guest is that you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and that you will comply with all masking requirements. The University of California system defines “full vaccination” as having received both the initial vaccination and a booster.

It is strongly recommended that you wear a mask when indoors, regardless of vaccination status. If you are not fully vaccinated, a mask is required when indoors. KN-95 masks are available near most entrances to the Law School. 

Masks are optional in outdoor spaces.

If you are a prospective applicant for the 2024-25 cycle (to begin law school in August 2025) and would like to meet with a member of our staff, you can make an appointment for an in person or virtual meeting. Our summer appointments are available on select Mondays and Thursdays in June and July. Our fall appointment calendar will be published in September 2024.

Due to limited availability, if you are applying during a later cycle, we invite you to attend or watch an applicant information session or you may email us any questions. Please familiarize yourself with our website before making an appointment as many answers can be found online. As a reminder, we do not take notes during these appointments, and this is not an interview for the JD program. Please refrain from making multiple appointments to allow others to access one-on-one advising.

If you require an accommodation for effective communication (ASL interpreting/CART captioning, alternative media formats, etc.) or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in a visit or a class observation, please contact Chelsea Hackett at chackett@law.berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7-10 days in advance of the event.

Please contact Alice Young, Director of Admissions for Outreach and Recruitment, at ayoung@law.berkeley.edu for any inquiries about Fall 2024. Please note that our ability to set up individual group visits is extremely limited, and we are unfortunately unable to accommodate all of the requests that we receive.
