Future Student Visit Day

Visit Day is for rising high school juniors and seniors, as well as prospective transfer students, who want to get a genuine sense of the UW Environment undergraduate experience.
First Thursday Information Sessions
These information sessions occur on campus on the first Thursday of every month during the academic year from 3-4 p.m. and are designed to pair with visit options from the Office of Admissions such as Transfer Thursday (1:30-2:30 p.m.) or the Campus Tour and Freshman Info Session (9-11 a.m.). RSVPs are encouraged, but we always welcome walk-ins. Family members are welcome to join us for these events, too.
First Thursday information sessions will resume in October 2017.
