These events are open fairs, at the graduate, undergraduate, and/or transfer level, at which admission representatives staff a table on behalf of The New School. They serve as an initial point of contact between students and colleges, without students needing to travel to visit the college itself, allowing students to interact with admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary institutions.

National Portfolio Days are annual events held in multiple locations across the United States, Canada and Europe. They are designed to provide a unique opportunity for you to meet individually with professional representatives of accredited colleges and universities and receive valuable feedback and guidance on your portfolio before you submit it as part of your application. No admission decisions or scholarship awards will be offered to you at National Portfolio Days. All representatives will be happy to discuss their specific programs of study and provide answers to questions about the availability of scholarships and financial aid. You will not find National Portfolio Days to be an examination or competition, the events are about an exchange of information. The representatives want to learn about you, your work, and your post-secondary plans, all while informing you about their college or university and application requirements. These events may be the first time you have been in an environment with so many people in one place who all share a powerful commitment to art and design. Use this as an opportunity to be inspired, to gain advice as to how to improve or present your portfolio, and to experience a small taste of what it is like to attend a professional art and design program.
