Visit Us!
Haven’t been able to visit Gonzaga University yet? Our Office of Admission offers many great visit options for our prospective students and their families. We offer both in-person and virtual visit options, so there are lots of ways to see campus and get to know GU better.
In-Person Visits
Daily Visits
Throughout the spring, we offer Daily Visits twice a day on most weekdays. Our morning option takes place between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM and our afternoon option takes place between 1:30 PM and 4:30 PM. Included in your visit would be an information session led by an admission counselor, a campus tour led by a student ambassador, and an optional meeting with an admission counselor (which also serves as an informal admission interview for prospective students). Please note, though, that meetings with admission counselors are only available to high school juniors, high school seniors, and interested transfer students.
During our Daily Visits, we also offer class visits and faculty meetings. These options can be added to your itinerary for your Daily Visit. However, please note that class visits and faculty meetings require at least two weeks' notice to give our faculty members plenty of notice before meeting a prospective student. Faculty interaction is limited to transfer students and high school juniors and seniors only.
