Limited Visits

Limited visits are available in an attempt to accommodate the busy schedule of our prospective students. However, these tours are limited because classes are not in session and many of our students and faculty will be away from campus. In some cases, facilities are also closed for that period of time. You may not obtain a true picture of campus life as we know it during a limited visit. However, if this is still the best time for you to visit Northwest then please feel free to contact us, as tours depart at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. Each tour will allow time for a question and answer session with an admission representative to discuss admission, scholarships, financial assistance and housing options.

Upon arrival, your group will be greeted by student ambassadors who will showcase our beautiful campus to you. The tour will last approximately 1 1/2 hours.

Additional Information

There are a few things that we would like you to keep in mind when scheduling your group visit:

Access may be limited during particular times of year due to our academic calendar.
Plan enough time for traveling to campus; being punctual will ensure that your group fully enjoys the visit.
If your group has members under the age of 18, please provide sufficient adult chaperones; our student tour guides cannot act as chaperones while providing a quality tour. We recommend one adult per 8-10 students.
