What are the options for my visit?
You can read about all your visit options.
Do I have to call to make an appointment if I only want to go on a tour?
No, but please arrive at least 10 minutes in advance of a tour time.
Do I have to call for an appointment if I want to go to an information session?
We do ask that people call to make a reservation if they plan on attending an information session, because this helps us determine what size room we should reserve for the session.
How far in advance should I call to make an appointment for an on-campus interview?
This often depends on the time of year. To be safe, it is best to call at least two weeks in advance during most of the year. If you are looking to book a Saturday interview or an interview during the month of April (our busiest month!) we suggest that you give us at least three to four weeks notice.
What are my options if I cannot visit campus and have an interview?
While we strongly encourage all students to make a visit to campus if at all possible, we do understand that sometimes circumstances dictate that you cannot visit, or if you can, that you are unable to schedule an interview when you do. We do offer regional interviews in some areas, and we do our best to offer these interviews to as many applicants as possible. Read about the process for having a regional interview.
