Weekday information sessions are held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Note: Beginning June 9, weekday information sessions will be held at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Self-guided tours are encouraged when you are unable to join a student-guided tour. Campus maps and self-guided tour pamphlets are always available outside the front door of the admissions office.

Class visits are strongly encouraged. Prospective students may visit any 100- or 200-level course. A list of courses is available from the admissions office, or you may download the Spring 2008 Course Listings.
