The enrollment management team is on the move!

While campus construction continues, the enrollment management team — admissions and financial aid — will be located in the Thun Library. Admissions will be in Room 140 and Financial Aid will be in Room 139 Monday through Friday. Walk-ins are welcome, but we strongly recommend you schedule an appointment (in person or via Zoom) to make sure we can best serve you.

Campus tours for the fall semester will conclude on Friday, December 13, 2024, as the University goes on winter break. Tours will resume on Thursday, January 23, 2025, when our Lion Ambassadors (student tour guides) are back on campus for the spring semester.
