To the University Community,

The campus visit is one of the most important factors that families weigh when deciding which colleges to seriously include on their "short list" of schools. When classes are in session, we offer three student-guided tours each weekday. We are also offering student-guided tours on many Saturdays.

For your general information, here is some basic tour information that you can keep handy for your reference.

Our regular tour and interview schedule goes into effect on September 8th.

– Tours will now be offered at 10:00, 12:00, & 2:00 Monday - Friday.
– Interviews with Admission Counselors are at 9:30, 11:30, 1:30, & 3:30 Monday - Friday.

Tour times during University breaks (holidays, Spring Break & the summer) are 10:00 & 2:00 with interviews at 9:30, 11:30, 1:30, & 3:30 (New University Break Schedule begins August 31st - September 4th)
