Campus Visits (for students under the age of 23)

We welcome your visit throughout the year and will strive to personalize your visit so you may learn about the factors most important to your college search!

Individual visits can be scheduled via the web. If you have special circumstances, please call our office at 800-992-7759. Campus visits are available by appointment. A typical visit includes an information session led by an Admission Counselor followed by a student-led tour. Please plan to arrive on campus at least 15 minutes before the scheduled visit time, as sessions will promptly start on time.

Campus visits require a minimum of 1 week notice. If you are requesting a class visit, please allow a minimum of 2 weeks notice.

Individual interviews are not available on Saturdays.

Class Visits

Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes
High school seniors, transfer students (under the age of 23) and high school juniors (on a space available basis) may request a class visit during the fall and spring semesters.

Please select more than one area of interest in case we cannot provide your first choice.
