Welcome to Annandale
Please use this site to familiarize yourself with Bard prior to your arrival on campus. We want your transition to be as seamless as possible, so we recommend that you spend some time learning about both the academic and campus life here at Bard. Some early college students will be participating in the Bard College Language and Thinking (L&T) Program, which will require an early arrival on campus. Please refer to the arrival schedules below.
Arrival Information
Early College L&T Interest Form
Please note: As a Bard Early College student, you can choose to attend L&T. Please know that there is an additional fee for the program. Students from the Bard Early College Centers (Harlem Children’s Zone, Hudson, and New Orleans) are required to attend L&T and do not need to demonstrate interest using this form. (Admitted students can fill out this form using their Bard applicant portal login information.)
