Individual Visit (Individual Students and Families)
A typical visit to campus lasts approximately two hours and includes speaking individually with an admissions counselor and touring the facilities. At Illinois Wesleyan University, great emphasis is placed on individual attention. Our counselors personalize conversations with prospective students based on their unique interests and questions, much in the same way our faculty and staff actively engage with our current students.
During the school year, seniors and transfer candidates may also sit in on classes and meet with faculty, and student-athletes may meet with coaches.
You can also call the Admissions Office at 800-332-2498 to schedule your visit over the phone.
Group Visit (Organizations Bringing Multiple Students)
We are happy to host your group visit! Group visit requests must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the visit date. A typical visit will consist of an information session (approximately 45 minutes) and a campus tour (approximately one hour). Please provide us with as much detailed information as you can on this form and we will begin working to arrange your visit.
Faculty Open Houses
