Arrange a Visit
Great news! It’s never been easier to visit Illinois Wesleyan. We love showcasing your beautiful campus in-person to prospective students and families. When you visit, you’ll get individual attention and a great sense of what makes Illinois Wesleyan one of the top ranked schools in the nation!
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!
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!

Organizations Bringing Multiple Students
Students must be in grades 6 - 12. To ensure a positive experience for all, we ask that all groups adhere to the following guidelines:

- A chaperone must accompany every group of students going out on a tour.

Although we will do our best, we may be unable to accommodate your group during peak visit times in October, March, or April.
