Campus Visit Procedural Information

Prospective students will need to pre-register for visits and meet Vermont COVID-19 visitation requirements outlined by the Governor and Vermont Department of Health. Prospective students from Vermont and other non-quarantine counties as identified below by the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development are welcome to visit campus. https://accd.vermont.gov/covid-19/restart/cross-state-travel
Prospective students traveling from areas with higher COVID cases (identified as those counties marked in yellow or red in the link above) must first quarantine per the Vermont state guidelines by either quarantining for the full 14 days and traveling to campus without stopping or quarantining for 7 days and receive a negative COVID-19 test result prior to making the trip to campus.
Campus visits are limited to the prospective student and maximum of 2 guests. The University highly recommends these guests be the parents or guardians of the student.
Masks must be worn at all times by all tour participants. Face masks must cover the mouth and nose. Virtual tours are available for those who cannot wear a face covering.
A member of our Admissions team will contact you prior to your scheduled time to confirm the details of your visit. The guidelines and recommendations set forth by the ACCD change weekly based on active COVID cases. NVU reserves the right to reschedule or change your visit to an entirely virtual format based on recommendation and guidance from the state of Vermont, CDC, or Department of Health.
Upon your arrival, you will call the Admissions Office and a member of our team will meet you outside and accompany you to Public Safety to complete a health screening (symptom questions and temperature check). If visitors do not pass health screening, the visit will be canceled and/or rescheduled, or an alternate virtual visit accommodation will be made.
Per State of Vermont guidance, higher education institutions have been asked to limit the number of visitors on campus and in buildings. In accordance with this guidance, only the prospective student and the Admissions representative will be able to enter selected campus buildings and spaces. Prospective students will not be permitted to enter residence halls or the library. An opportunity to view a residence hall room may be provided from outside at ground level, or virtually.
At the conclusion of the tour, the admissions counselor will meet with the prospective student and family outside, under a tent. An indoor meeting space will be available in the case of extreme inclement weather.
Requests to meet with faculty, financial aid, academic support, residential life, and other offices will only be accommodated virtually at this time. The campus visit coordinators will arrange these sessions via Zoom.
Student athletes who would like to meet on campus with a coach or a member of the athletics staff may make that request when registering to visit. Every effort will be made to accommodate this request. If a coach is not available, an athletics staff member will meet with prospective athletes.
