Group visits for students in 9th - 12th grade

We do not host visits on weekends, academic breaks, finals week (see our academic calendar), Hawkeye Visit Days, or Admitted Student Days.

Please note, fall group visits have filled at this time.

What You Need to Know Before You Register

• Reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis and are based on our event calendar. We cannot guarantee date availability.
• Reservations should be made at minimum three weeks prior to your anticipated visit date.
• Your date is not confirmed until you receive communication from the Group Visit Coordinator.
•  Groups visits are intended for groups of 10 or more students. Due to space limitations, groups cannot exceed 60 students.
• Groups must be accompanied by a chaperone. We require one chaperone for every 15 students and the chaperone(s) must remain present with the group at all times throughout the visit. Failure to do so could result in an early conclusion of the visit and limited availability for future visits.

Visit Activities Could Include

(Please note: During summer and certain times of the academic year activity options are limited.) 

• Iowa Overview Presentation – Led by an Admission Representative including information on admission, housing, student life, and financial aid. (30 minutes)
• Campus Walking Tour – Led by current student tour guides (75-minute tour)
• Residence Hall Common Space Tour – Only offered for students in grades 11-12 (15-minute tour)

Register for a Group Visit

• To request a High School Group Visit please submit a group visit interest form. Filling out the interest form is a request for a visit, not an official confirmation. Our Group Visit Coordinator will contact you to officially set up your group’s visit.

The visit options listed on this page are intended for groups of ten or more high school students. If you are a prospective first-year student interested in visiting campus, please check out our Visit Options for First-Year Students or call our office at 319-335-1566.
