Campus Visits, College Visits to UHS & College Fairs

College Campus Visits

Students are strongly encouraged to visit college campuses. It is important to see if the fit is right. Information can be found on nearly each college’s website. It is recommended that you call and make an appointment if there is a formal presentation. You may arrange to bring along an UNOFFICIAL high school transcript by completing a Permission to Release Information form in the Counseling Center. Visit http://www.collegeboard.com for great information to help make your college visits more meaningful.

Most colleges hold Open Houses in the fall. Please check the colleges’ web sites for dates and times.

College Visits to UHS

We have over 100 college representatives visiting us each year in the Counseling Center. We strongly encourage juniors and seniors to attend these visits. Why? Before stepping onto campus, you get the opportunity to hear about the flavor of an institution from a school official. Many times the representative is the actual person who reads UHS applications. A schedule of schools visiting UHS will be posted on the Counseling Center website, outside of the Counseling Center, on UHSeNews and in the Career Center. Students must sign up for a pass at least one day before the visit.

College Information Sessions at Nearby Locations

Some colleges, especially ones located far from us, hold Information Sessions at nearby locations, like hotels or convention centers.

College Fairs

College fairs give you the chance to talk to admissions officers and get the scoop on everything, from what courses are offered to life on campus. Fairs can also help you rule out colleges, as well as introduce you to new ones.
