Frequently Asked Questions

An individual visit has a much more flexible itinerary than group visits, with appointments offered Monday through Friday, year round. Most visits include a campus tour and a meeting with your admission counselor, but you can personalize your visit to fit your interests. By request, we can also set up appointments with professors in any academic department, coaches or staff members in other areas of interest. We'll treat you to lunch in one of our dining halls if you're on campus during lunchtime.

NOTE: Individual visits for high school juniors and sophomores will not be available on Monday, April 21. If you are a high school senior or transfer student, and are interested in scheduling an individual visit for this date, please call us at 515-271-2089.
