Please arrive for your visit 15 minutes before the start of your first appointment.  We welcome guests to check-in at our front desk in the admissions lobby. Lobby restrooms and refreshments are available for all guests.

Can I schedule a campus tour? Will multiple families tour together?

All high school students and their family members can enjoy a student-led campus tour.  Our campus tours are individualized whenever possible. If you attend a larger visit program, you will be grouped with other families.

How many guests will I be able to bring with me?

We do not have a guest limit.

Can I schedule a conversation with an admissions staff representative?

All high school students may request an on-campus interview/conversation with a member of our admissions staff.  We believe current high school seniors find these conversations most beneficial.

I’ve requested to talk with a coach. Where will we meet?

If the coach or program representative is available during the day of your visit, we will indicate the time and location of the meeting upon check-in.

Will there be dining options on-campus? In the surrounding community?

Students and their guests may request to dine on campus during most individual visits and selected visit programs.

Students can request to meet with a professor and/or attend an in-person class as available. Most individual visit dates and selected weekday visit programs offer these activities.
