Virginia
Private College Week
July 28-Aug. 2, 2008
You wouldn't buy a car without
first taking it for a spin ... the same goes for college.
Check out the residence halls, libraries and computer facilities. Visit the labs and arts and athletic facilities. Scan student newspapers and bulletin boards for campus culture and fun. Learn more about cross-culturals, spiritual life, and campus organizations.
Let your eyes, ears, and feet discover everything that waits for you in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley!
To Participate:
Students who visit three participating Virginia private colleges between July 28 and Aug. 2 will receive three application fee waivers.
Campus tours during Private College Week begin at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. and include informational sessions on admission application, financial aid eligibility, and curriculum overview.
- Pick up a passport at the first college you visit, after completing the tour.
- At the end of each tour, have the college stamp your passport.
- Mail your completed passport to the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV) to receive your fee waivers.
Visit www.cicv.org to see the complete list of participating private colleges, and remember that students from Virginia attending a CICV institution in 2008-09 are estimated to receive a Tuition Assistance Grant of up to $3,200.
After the week is over?
The college campuses you visit may start to run together. You may not remember which one had the cool fountain on the quad or even what the dorms looked like. But you'll finish your first round of college visits with favorites, like EMU, and we're ready to answer your questions and help you apply for admission!
- Learn more about EMU
- Schedule another campus visit: Come back during the school year and stay with a current student. Attend some classes, go to a soccer game, eat in the cafeteria, and just have fun!
- Admissions counselors are only a phone call, e-mail, or instant message away. E-mail or call 1-800-368-2665.
