Personal Visit

We’re looking forward to hosting high school juniors, seniors and transfer students at Valparaiso University! 

On-campus appointments are open on a limited basis most weekdays with start times at 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., or 1:00 p.m. Central Time.  Registration is required; we cannot host families without an appointment. 

Your visit includes a walking tour of campus and conversation with an admission counselor. Tours are able to go into most buildings. Faculty appointments are available only for transfer students and high school seniors; they are not available on Saturdays or during breaks, and sitting in on a class is not an option. Most Personal Visits last an hour and a half to two hours.

COVID Safety Protocols
Valpo is implementing safety protocols for our visitors and campus community that align with the Indiana Department of Health and Governor’s directives. These include the following:

• All employees and guests must wear a cloth face covering over their nose & mouth when on campus. Those unable to wear a mask will not be allowed to participate in the visit per campus policy.
• Limit the number in your group to no more than 3 (yourself plus two guests).
• If you or anyone in your household has traveled abroad, you must wait 14 days and must not show any COVID symptoms before scheduling a visit to Valpo.
• If you or any family member has had any of the following symptoms related to the COVID-19 virus in the last 14 days, and have not had the COVID-19 nasal test or the results came back positive, we cannot accommodate your visit. Please visit us virtually.
  • The symptoms are: Fever, persistent cough, shortness of breath, chills/shaking with chills, muscle aches/pains, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell. 
• If you had a COVID-19 nasal test within the past 14 days, and the results were negative, please bring a copy of the results with you to your visit; we will take your temperature for confirmation when you arrive at the Duesenberg Welcome Center.​​​​ 
• Take your temperature before leaving home, and reschedule your visit if anyone has a fever or symptoms as indicated above.
• Check-in at the Duesenberg Welcome Center will be staged to limit contact with other families and includes us asking COVID-related questions when you arrive.
• We ask you to help us maintain social distancing of a minimum of 6-feet.

Road Construction
When driving to the campus, Google maps may be a helpful tool in determining your fastest driving route. Whether entering from Sturdy Rd/Indiana 2 or U.S. 30, wind your way to the Duesenberg Welcome Center, #34 on this campus map.
 

If you wish to meet with our NCAA-Division I coaches, rules dictate that you reach out to them directly to schedule an appointment.


Safe travels, and see you soon!
