Visit Campus

"The moment I stepped on campus, I knew Guilford was right for me."

Campus Visits

Individual visits can be scheduled by calling 800-992-7759 or via the web.

Campus visits are available by appointment. Visits include a 30-minute information session followed by a 60-minute student-led campus tour. Individual interviews are not required and are subject to availability following the tour. However, students must indicate their request for an individual interview when scheduling their visit by either 1) typing "Interview Request" under the "Academic Areas of Interest" section located in the online "Schedule Your Visit" form OR 2) noting their "Interview Request" when calling the Admission Office to set up their visit (we also offer regional interviews...click here to see if a Guilford Admission Counselor will be offering interviews in a city near you).
