Parents & Families Visiting Campus & Santa Barbara
Westmont is open for a limited number of daily visitors. As a reminder, all visitors are required to complete our Visitor Request Form at least a day before arriving on campus. Once the form is approved, you will be sent a confirmation email. This will generate a health assessment form for you to complete the morning you plan on entering campus. The guards at the upper entrance to campus (currently the only way to enter) will have your name on file that day to verify your approval to enter. Please ensure all guests accompanying you are listed on the campus access request form in advance to ensure they can enter campus. The form allows you to indicate multiple dates for your visit.
