Day visits are designed to give you a glimpse of the true college experience. You will have the opportunity to sit in on a class with a current American University student and have lunch in our dining hall. You may choose to take a tour or attend an information session. We try to accommodate individual preferences but you may need to be flexible due to class and advisor availability.
Day Visits are open to high school juniors and seniors, as well as prospective transfer students. Please note, during the month of April, only admitted high school seniors will be able to participate in a day visit. During that month, Day Visits are not available for denied high school seniors, high school juniors, or transfer students.
Spring 2019 day visits are offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays beginning January 28, 2019 and will conclude April 26, 2019. Spring 2019 Day Visits are not available on Wednesdays.
Please note, Day Visits have concluded for the fall 2018 semester. We will begin accepting Day Visit requests for the spring 2019 semester on Monday, January 7, 2019.
To request the full day visit experience, please complete and submit the Day Visit form at least two weeks in advance of your visit.
We do not offer day visits during the summer months.
