Step 1
Decide which campus you'll visit and locate the tour schedule on the George Washington University website. Select the day you wish to visit the university and then schedule the events (such as tours and information sessions) for your visit.
-
Step 2
Book any accommodations that you will need for your visit to George Washington University. The university's website has a list of accommodations, including official George Washington University hotels that are near the campus. You'll also find contact information for these accommodations so you can reserve necessary lodging for your visit.
-
Step 3
Review the online maps for both the Foggy Bottom campus and the Mt. Vernon campus prior to your visit. Maps for both of these George Washington University campuses are on the university's official website. Although you can pick up campus maps at the visitor center, it's a good idea to print out the maps from the university website before you come for your tour. You'll have a chance to study the maps and be a little more familiar with the campus layout.
-
Step 4
Attend an information session at the visitor center when you arrive on campus. They are led by both a current student and an admission officer and last approximately one hour. The dates and times for information sessions vary, so be sure to check the schedule and reserve your spot at an information session either by calling the visitor center at (202) 994-6602, or by using the visitor center schedule online.
-
Step 5
Go on a tour of the George Washington University campuses. These tours follow the information sessions and depart from the visitor center on campus. The Foggy Bottom tour runs about one hour in duration, and the Mount Vernon tour runs about 30 minutes. Both are led by student admissions representatives. Schedule your tour prior to your visit online or by telephone.
-
Step 6
Arrange for any other special activities that you want to do during your visit to George Washington University. Some of the activities available include sitting in on a class, having lunch with a student admissions representative or meeting with a professor or a coach. Get information on these activities from the visitor center.
-
Step 7
Ask for an admissions interview. Although an interview isn't required for admission to George Washington University, it's recommended. Request an interview online using the Admissions Activity Center on the university's website. You'll first need to create a free account online, then just follow the online instructions.
