A Visit Is Worth a Thousand Words
We can talk to you all day about the quality of Valpo’s academic programs, the commitment of our faculty to your success, or the way you’ll feel right at home as soon as you get to campus. But there’s nothing like chatting with current staff and students and taking a guided tour to really get to know Valpo. On-Campus visits to Valparaiso University are available for high school seniors and transfer students during the Fall Semester; registration is required. Others may join us on a virtual visit.
Explore Engineering
Did you know Valpo’s Undergraduate Engineering Program has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top in our nation? A personal visit is a great way to experience Valpo Engineering. You’ll chat with an admission counselor and take a campus tour that walks through our engineering facilities & interactive labs. And Valpo’s faculty would love to meet with you virtually! Email Assistant Dean Laura Sanders to set up this faculty conversation (laura.sanders@valpo.edu).
Or, participate in our virtual visit day on October 3, specifically for the College of Engineering! Here’s a sneak peak at the program; you can register here!
Feel the need to get onto campus to see us in person?
Introduction to Valpo Day for H.S. Seniors & Transfer Students
We offer high school seniors and transfer students an Introduction to Valpo Day on Saturday, September 26. There are two options on this day: check in at 8:00 a.m. or check in at 12:00 noon, however the noon event is filled to capacity! This 3-hour program includes multiple sessions but not individual sessions on each academic area. To meet our state’s COVID-19 guidelines, enrollment is limited and registration is required. We hope to offer an event for underclassmen in the Spring Semester.
H.S. Seniors & Transfer Students: Make a Personal Visit
Our personal visits, currently reserved for high school seniors and transfer students, include a walking campus tour and conversation with an admission counselor. Registration is required.
The Virtual Valpo Experience
In response to the COVID-19 effect on our nation, and understanding the inability for many families to travel, Valpo provides the best experience in your college search journey as possible, including a virtual tour, videos from across campus, and live information sessions.
We also offer weekly Information Sessions in Spanish for prospective students.
Admitted Student Days
Get to know Valpo just a little bit better before you commit. You’ll explore your academic college and attend sessions specific to your major. After lunch with current students, you’ll meet with admissions to talk about financial aid and campus resources. And we’ll have sessions and workshops for your parents, too. Our Admitted Student Days, which are hosted in the Spring Semester, have not yet been scheduled as we wait to see how COVID-19 may influence our visit programs.
Directions and Accommodations
It’s easy to get to Valpo, but sometimes hard to leave. We’re an easy drive from Chicago, and you’ll find lots to do once you’re here. Use these links to plan your visit:
