Best Times to Visit

To experience what campus is like on a typical class day, we encourage a weekday visit during the months of September through April, excluding breaks and exams. We also offer opportunities to see campus during the summer months from mid-May to mid-August.

We make every effort to provide tours of campus during some breaks and final exams. However, these times are not ideal as classes are not in session and students are generally not on campus. Also, during breaks, residence halls and some buildings will be closed.
