Come visit Alvernia University!

Individual Visit

An Individual 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.

Information Session

An Information Session is a scheduled visit program that begins with a structured presentation led by an admissions counselor. The information session covers topics such as academic programs, application requirements, financial aid, and student life. After the presentation, guests will participate in a guided campus tour led by a Golden Guide. This option is ideal for families seeking both a comprehensive overview of the college and a first-hand look at campus.
