Daily Campus Visit

A visit to campus includes an enrollment presentation, a campus tour, and a residence hall tour. On most weekdays we can arrange a visit with an adviser or professor in the academic area of your choice.

Registration Information

Reservations made within at least 5 days prior to your scheduled visit date are appreciated. While it is possible to arrange a visit on short notice we strongly recommend planning ahead so that we can meet your campus visit needs.

Plot your own course

Other activities can be arranged according to your special interest. You may choose to meet with staff from the University Honors Program, ROTC program, and Women in Science and Engineering. We recommend visiting campus while classes are in session, as some visit options may not be available during breaks.

In order to provide the best campus visit experience, we ask that all prospective students register individually.
