A group of alumni walking through campus, on a tour

We welcome requests for group visits of 10 or more students that are arranged by school counselors, community-based organizations, or college access/readiness programs. If you have less than 10 students, we ask that you register each student under a regular campus tour, instead of a group visit.

Group visits feature a 90-minute student-guided walking tour of campus that can be tailored to showcase the interests of the visiting students. We can also enhance your itinerary by arranging for an information session from admissions and/or a special department, and/or campus dining experience.

Once a request for a group visit is received, a representative from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will respond to confirm availability and discuss the details of your visit.

 

Visitors may be photographed or videoed for marketing purposes while on campus. If we are taking photos/videos during your visit and you don’t want to be involved, please tell our staff that you choose to opt out.
