If you are interested in bringing a group of students from a high school, community based organization (CBO), or other college access group serving students traditionally underrepresented in higher education, we would like to work with you to accommodate this request. Please complete this form at least 4-6 weeks prior to your requested visit date to inquire about availability, and someone from our team will be in touch with you within 7-10 business days.

We are unable to accommodate every group request, especially during school breaks such as winter break or spring break.
