IWU Admissions Information

Overview

There are many different ways to learn more about Illinois Wesleyan University. If you’re just getting started, you might want to fill out our online request form so that we can send you information about majors, activities, athletics, etc., and we can add you to our mailing list.

Of course, the best way to learn about a college is by seeing it firsthand. The IWU Admissions Office is open year-round for campus visits. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays. Prospective students and their families are invited to schedule campus visits by calling the Admissions Office at 1-800-332-2498, or going online.

• A talk with an admission counselor to discuss educational interests and plans.
• A campus tour accompanied by a student guide.
• Arrangements can be made in advance to visit specific classes and meet with professors and coaches.

A better picture of college life is possible if visitors come when classes are in session. More classes are available for students to observe on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Classes do not meet on Saturdays.

With advance notice, applicants can make arrangements to spend the night on campus, free-of-charge, with a current IWU student. The Admissions Office will provide complimentary meals and tickets to any theatre or athletic events taking place that evening.
