Group Visits for High Schools and Organizations
Thank you for your interest in a group visit at Elmhurst University!
Our group visits for the Fall 2024 semester are full and we are no longer able to accept requests. Please check back at a later date for the Spring 2025 semester schedule. We welcome high schools, community colleges, community-based organizations that provide support for high school school students and alumni partners who are interested in learning about the admission process and academic opportunities at the University.
Group Visits
We can accommodate high school and community college groups of up to 30 people (including chaperones), and ask that you provide one chaperone for every 10 students. The group visit experience lasts approximately two hours, beginning at 9:45 a.m.
Please complete a group visit request form at least a month prior to your visit, and our group visit coordinator will follow up with you within one week to confirm your visit date and schedule.
Important Information
We offer group visits on select Tuesdays and Thursdays each Fall and Spring Term. We also limit your group visit to one visit per semester. If your group has been confirmed and your plans change, we ask that you contact Lauren Lehmann at [email protected].
How Do We Get to Elmhurst University and Where Can We Park?
Due to construction on campus this school year parking is limited as we are building and renovating a new Health Science Building. We ask that you please have your bus driver park in the Kohl’s parking lot located by West Ave and St. Charles Road once you have been dropped on campus by Alumni Circle (pictured here).
If you are utilizing a Charter Bus, please call (630) 617-3400 when you arrive and a staff member will be able to assist you.
What Happens When We Arrive?
The first thing to expect is to see our staff waiting for you with a smile! Typically, we will give your group information about Elmhurst University, an admission presentation and a campus tour. If you have special accommodations or would like to have specific departments speak to your group, please inform us in the comments section of the group visit request form.
