College Visits

The purpose of a college visit is to get detailed information concerning a college a student may want to attend. Since choosing a college is such an important decision, it is advisable that parents attend all college visits with their child. Many colleges and universities host open houses on Saturdays for this purpose. The college open house format offers detailed information about the school, and there are usually additional staff and students on hand to answer questions. If the college you are considering does not offer this option, then a weekday visit may be necessary. Spontaneous visits to colleges are not recommended. If a visitation has not been scheduled, the college representative may not have time to meet with you.

You must complete all of Part 1 of the request, meet all of the requirements, including a Parent/Guardian's signature and turn it in to the counseling office at least one week prior to your planned visit.
