Directions and PArking

We anticipate a high volume of visitors. Please follow our directions to campus and allow extra time to arrive. Campus signs and security will direct all vehicles to the North Parking Garage or South Parking Garage (both free of charge during event).

check-in

On the morning of Fall Campus Visit Day, students will receive a text message and an email with a self-check-in link. In-person check-in and printed schedules will be available all day at the information tents near the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts and on Fairfield Way across from Gampel Pavilion.

Dine out

Brunch is available from 10:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at a variety of award-winning dining units across campus today at a discounted rate of $10 for adults/$7 for children 12 and under. All units operate on a credit card-only basis (no cash).

Top Visit Tips

  1. Plan to arrive to sessions early as demonstrated interest does not guarantee one’s spot in a session. Visitors are welcome to attend any session pending space availability.
  2. Consider taking a campus tour in the afternoon as morning tours are always very popular.
  3. Staff from One Stop Student Services will be available to answer admissions and financial aid questions in the Student Union Lobby from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
