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.
Personal Visit Options
Individual Visits

An individual visit allows us to build an itinerary with specific activities that you request. Appointments are taken weekdays between the office hours of 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. You will meet with an admission counselor to learn about admission requirements, financial aid and scholarship opportunities. You can meet with a faculty member, coach or extra-curricular advisor and have lunch in our dining hall. Just let us know which options you prefer when you make your appointment, and we will establish a schedule to meet all of your needs.
Please Note: Appointments must be made at least a week in advance of the date you wish to visit so that we have plenty of time to arrange your activities. Please call the Office of Admission directly to make your appointment.
