PLEASE CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT – 760-744-1150 x 7509
Campus tours are organized through the Student Activities Coordinator, Lindsay Kretchman, on an individual basis, to allow prospective students and their guests an opportunity to explore the campus. Typically, each tour takes around an hour, so please plan accordingly. If you have a special section of campus you would like to visit or if you set an appointment with someone on campus, let Lindsay know so the tour may be appropriately adjusted for your special needs. Make sure to visit the Campus Police building to gain a “visitor parking permit” to park for FREE.
Groups tours are also available, with some limitations, for local high school, middle school and elementary school students. We provide tours Monday-Friday during the Fall and Spring semesters, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and must be scheduled at least 3 weeks in advance, in order to organize with other departments on campus.
For a guided walking-tour of Palomar College’s campus, contact Lindsay Kretchman, Coordinator of Student Activities at 760-744-1150 x 7509 or email her at lkretchman@palomar.edu
