Visiting Campus
Visiting campus is an important piece to deciding on a college. We offer many visit options for you. Whether you're looking to take your first steps on campus or learn more about us from the comfort of your home, we're here to give you the full campus experience. There are many other ways to connect with us outside of the campus experience and virtual campus experience. Learn more about our Major Exploration Days, Visiting your High School, Virtual Events and more!
What will I see on my in-person campus tour?
During your campus tour you will get a feel for what it is like to be a Golden Eagle student on our campus. We will show you everything from the student hang out areas like the Sargent Student Center & International Lounge, our many on campus dining options, classrooms & labs, our state of the art Wellness Center, and our on-campus Resident’s Halls. If there is something more specific you would like to see make sure you request it when you sign up for your visit, or let us know during your tour!
What kind of additional requests can I make?
If you have any additional requests for your Campus Experience visit you can include that when you sign up under the “Questions & Comments” section. These can include things like meeting with an athletics’ coach, meeting with the Disability Resource Center, any dietary or mobility restrictions, etc. Please let us know any way that we can make your visit more enjoyable!
I have scheduled a in-person campus tour, now what?
Yay! We look forward to your visit with us. You should receive a confirmation email shortly after signing up to the email addresses that you included in your sign up form. You will also receive a reminder email with parking directions 3 days prior to your visit.

Will the information be the same as an on campus visit?
While there is no real substitute for a tour on campus, we provided you with the same important information you will receive at an on campus visit.
I attended a virtual campus experience, can I attend an on campus visit later?
Yes! We'd enjoy to see you on our campus!

"The best way to find out if a campus is a good fit for you is to go see it!"
“The best college tour we have been on.”
“Amberly from admissions was my tour guide and she showed us the barn and everything having to do with all the animals which was very impactful on my decisions, because no other schools show their animals or barns/equipment during tours.”
“Paul (Admissions Counselor), he made me feel welcomed and important.”
“Rae (Student Ambassador) was extremely helpful and so willing to answer questions. Was very honest and gave you a true insight what life at Crookston us really like.”
