You know the college you choose may define the way the rest of your life unfolds. That’s why you’re not just looking for any college; you’re looking for a university that fits you. And the best way to make that decision is to experience for yourself the universities on your short list. So, schedule a visit to IUP.
Discover firsthand a university where you can prepare for a rewarding career and a meaningful life of leadership and service. Where you can achieve all that you know you’re capable of. And go beyond.
Reservations are required. We suggest scheduling your visit a minimum of two weeks in advance so that a confirmation letter with a map, directions, and parking instructions can be mailed to you. If you have questions about specific majors, athletics, or activities, we recommend meeting with the appropriate department. You can find contact information through the website or mention it to our staff when making a reservation to visit.
Select Saturdays, 9:00 a.m.
Saturday visitation programs are another opportunity to discover IUP, particularly if weekends are more convenient. These programs include a walking tour of campus and an academic fair featuring our departments, so that you can learn about the many curricular opportunities at IUP. The Admissions office is open after the morning program for any families with additional questions. A printable Expo agenda is available.
Monday – Friday at 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. (When Classes Are in Session)
An Admissions Visitation Program/Campus Tour provides you with a general overview of IUP and what it has to offer. A brief presentation focusing on the admission process is given by an admissions representative. Immediately following this presentation is a walking tour of the campus lasting approximately ninety minutes and highlighting classroom buildings, a residence hall, the Hadley Union Building (HUB), and other campus facilities. These programs/tours are held most weekdays when classes are in session.

Individual Appointments
Monday – Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
We highly recommend attending a group session, after which a counselor will be happy to meet with you to clarify any questions or concerns you may have. We also offer individual appointments to better accommodate your schedule. To schedule an individual appointment, you must call or e-mail the office directly. Please be sure to mention any other departments in which you have an interest so that we can provide contact information and assistance in arranging an individual meeting.
Register on line for your weekday program and/or tour or Saturday visit, or find out more by calling 800-442-6830 or 724-357-2230. You may also send e-mail to admissions-inquiry@iup.edu.
