@hlabs11 you should call the admissions office. I’m sure they will be able to tell you

Yes, there is, or should I say there will be. I don’t know the timing.

Contact the Office of Admission for advance information. In time you would be contacted by them as well and the
facility.

Congratulations upon your acceptance to Colgate. Go 'gate!
