Setting up a Campus Visit

Your first step to setting up a successful campus visit is contacting the Undergraduate Admissions Office. They can assist you with setting up your prospective visit date and making sure you are prepared in advance for what to expect. A typical campus visit includes a presentation from an Admissions Advisor, they will cover information related to financing your student’s education and admissions details, followed by a tour of campus. During your time here, you and your student do have the option of meeting with someone from their academic department of interest, just make sure to indicate you are interested in this when you are setting up your visit.
