Campus Visit Info
Visiting campus is the perfect way to learn all about Wilmington College! We recommend that you visit campus at least two times if your schedule allows – the first time by attending an open house to get a general feel for the atmosphere and to make sure we have what you are looking for. The second visit should be through an individual visit or Host Day so that we can customize your visit to exactly meet your needs. We provide a variety of visit options for you. Take a look and see which ones work best for you. All programs include a campus tour, a meal in our main dining hall and information sessions on admission requirements, scholarship opportunities and financial aid.
Please Note: Reservations are necessary with each visit option and can be made via the web site, email, or telephone. You will receive a confirmation that your reservation has been received. If you do not receive this confirmation, you should contact us to confirm your reservation.

Saturday presentations are held at 10:00 a.m. with the campus tours beginning at 11:00 a.m. Call the Office of Admission directly to make your reservation.
Individual Overnight Visits
Been to campus several times already? Have you been curious as to what it's like to spend a night in a residence hall? If so, then you may consider scheduling an individual overnight visit. This is offered to any high school senior who has been accepted for admission to Wilmington College. Students are welcome to visit on any Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Thursday while classes are in session throughout the entire academic year. Visiting students will be hosted by a Wilmington College Student Ambassador (employed by the Office of Admission) with whom they will reside with and experience first hand the daily routine of a typical Wilmington College student. There is no charge for this opportunity. To schedule an individual overnight visit, simply contact the Office of Admission two weeks prior to your desired date at extension 260 and leave the rest to us.
