Individual On-Campus Visits
College visits are an important part of the college selection process.
We'd love to meet you, introduce ourselves, and learn where you are in your college selection process! Application questions? Financial Aid? Introduction to IWU? Whatever questions you have, we are here for you!
First Look Previews
Take a campus tour, learn valuable financial aid information, glimpse some of the 120+ extracurricular activities available to our students, and more! Designed especially for students and families who are just getting to know IWU, this is a fantastic overview of the IWU experience.
Open Houses
Each year we’re pleased to offer three fun, informative, in-person sessions which offer opportunities to discover IWU, ask questions, meet faculty, current students, take a campus tour and more!
Admitted Student Day
For admitted students only.
If you've been admitted into IWU's incoming class of 2025, this day has been designed just for you! Join us to learn more about the significant ways IWU will not only make your college experience "breakthrough," but also set you up for success after college. The program includes breakout sessions focused on Post-Graduate Planning, Study Abroad, Research, Student Life, and more, plus the opportunity to tour campus, and hear from current students, faculty and alumni about the distinctive characteristics of Illinois Wesleyan.

Virtual Tour
While visiting campus is a great way to learn about Illinois Wesleyan and the college experience, we know it's not easy for everybody to visit in person. This is why we have a great virtual tour with photos and videos of various noteable spots around campus!
