Come Visit

All tours and information sessions require an appointment to ensure small group size and personal attention. Reservations may be made by calling the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (401) 456-8234 or 1-800-669-5760 (voice or TDD for the hearing impaired). We offer a variety of tours and information sessions.

Campus Tours & Freshman Information Sessions

Student tour guides from the admissions office conduct campus tours throughout the year. Tours last approximately ninety minutes and include a residence hall visit.

• Fall and Spring Tours: Monday through Thursday, 11:00am & 2:00pm
• Summer Tours: Tuesday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m

Members of the professional staff provide forty-five-minute admissions information sessions for prospective students and their parents on Fridays at 10:15 a.m. during the academic year. The presentation is followed by a campus tour at 11:00 a.m. Some select Saturdays are also available and those sessions are followed by a mini campus tour.

Please Note: Campus Tours commence two weeks after the start of the semester and continue through the last day of classes. No tours or information sessions are held during breaks, Admissions Open House, Spring Party, and major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Annual Admissions Open House

The annual Admissions Open House for prospective students and their parents is held on the second Saturday in November. Students have the opportunity to meet faculty representatives from all academic departments, as well as athletic coaches and staff from other student related departments. Open house also offers special sessions for admissions, financial aid, and select programs; trolley tours of the campus; and visits to all residence halls. Call us for an invitation or more information.

On the Road

The admissions staff visits all Rhode Island high schools as well as major regional and national college fairs throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, and mid-Atlantic states.
