with different schools to ask about programs you’re interested in and

to see if there are scholarship opportunities for you.

university. Space fills up quickly—don’t procrastinate! Enjoy the

experience!

An information session with an admissions counselor to discuss admission requirements,

scholarship deadlines, financial aid and housing. They will also go over programs like Honors,

LEAP, Study Abroad, etc., and how to get involved on campus—i.e. the Bennion Center and

ASUU (Student Government). There will be a time for questions as well.

A campus tour with a current student to see where you might be taking classes. You will also see

the service buildings like the Student Union, Bookstore, Library, and Student Services Building.

This is a great time to talk with a current student about what life at the U is really like.
