Academics will also host academic focused tours of their college/departments for students and their guests to learn more about their specific offerings.

In addition to the tours, visiting students will attend a morning class and participate in an academic activity of their choosing. While visiting students are in class and participating in the academic activities, their guests will hear from our deans and learn about financial aid and other academic support services available to our students. We will end the day with an interview of some of our current students and a Student Life Fair showcasing many of the campus resources (clubs, organizations, teams, academic areas, etc.) that are available to our students.

This event is designed for high school students (along with their parents), and college or university students that are considering a transfer. Each high school or college age student will need to register separately for this event and select their preferred academic options for the day.
