A Campus Visit is a personalized, one-on-one (or one family) campus visit tailored to a prospective student’s interests. It typically includes a private guided campus tour led by a student ambassador and a meeting with an admissions counselor. It may also involve optional components such as a meeting with a faculty member or coach. This format allows for flexible scheduling and in-depth questions, providing a customized look at campus life and academic opportunities.

An Open House is a large, event-style program designed to showcase Alvernia University to many prospective students and families at once. For this visit, you will typically attend admissions and academic presentations; meet faculty, staff, and current students; explore student services and academic departments; and participate in guided campus tours offered throughout the event. Open Houses provide the most in-depth and wide-ranging introduction to the college experience.
