Planning a Visit

Admissions Overview and Tour

Ohio State’s Mager Student Visitor Center offers visit sessions at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. weekdays and select Saturdays throughout the year. These two-  and one-half hour sessions include an overview presentation focusing on the admissions process and criteria and a walking tour of campus. The student-led tours visit areas of interest to prospective undergraduate students, including a residence hall, library, and classroom building. Visitor reservations are required and two weeks’ notice is recommended. To schedule, visit campusvisit.osu.edu.

Group Tours

The Student Visitor Center offers prearranged tours for groups of six or more—typically, one-hour tours of the Oval, the central campus area. Days and times are limited. Reservations are required, and a one-month notice is requested. To schedule, call  (614) 292-3030.

Department Visits

Many academic areas offer open houses, career days, and facility tours. Students can explore these options by visiting academic web sites or by e-mailing academicvisit@osu.edu.
