Wooster is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and following local, state, and national health organization guidance. We have implemented visitor practices in line with this guidance. We encourage you to view our Campus Guide. All visit activities are subject to change. We will do our best to provide advanced notice of any changes to your visit experience.
Inclusivity Statement
At Wooster, creating a diverse, equitable, welcoming and inclusive campus community is a top priority. Our students, faculty, staff, and visitors of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, faiths, sexual orientations, gender identities, and socioeconomic circumstances are welcome. We respect and value the commonalities and differences among us. By celebrating the uniqueness of each individual and recognizing it takes all people to make a college community, we pledge to stand united against hate by creating and contributing to safe campus environments in our community.
We look forward to welcoming you to campus. Be sure to dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Please note that campus is currently mask-optional, with faculty and staff possibly requiring masks in classrooms and offices.
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.
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.
We do not have a guest limit.
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.
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.
Students and their guests may request to dine on campus during most individual visits and selected visit programs. We highly recommend families explore our local Wooster restaurants. Some of our favorite downtown spots include Broken Rocks, Basil, Spoon, Local Roots (local co-op) and Salsaroja Bar & Grill.
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.
