The best way to understand COA is to experience it. We'd love to help get you here.

We invite you to breathe in the salty ocean air, sit in on a few classes, get to know the community, and see what life is like on our mountainous island in Maine. Visiting campus is a great way to get a feel for College of the Atlantic and determine if it might be the right fit for you, so we want to make visiting campus accessible for everyone. We have limited amount of funds to help reimburse travel costs for high school seniors and prospective transfer students within the US who come for an on-campus event or tour. Travel assistance amounts vary and are determined by your distance from Bar Harbor. We will respond to your request within a week of your form submission, and then your reimbursement will be mailed to your home address shortly after your visit.

While we highly encourage students to attend the Fall Open House for a more robust experience on campus, travel assistance can be used towards any registered campus visit through January 31. If you have any questions about our travel assistance program, please contact the Admission Office at inquiry@coa.edu or 800-528-0025. We hope to see you on campus soon!
