There are several things to do while visiting UST:

1. Take a campus tour: Tours of our main St. Paul campus take approximately one hour and include academic buildings, the student center, chapel and library. During the academic year, campus tours include seeing one dorm room. During spring semester we also offer tours that focus on seeing all of the men’s or women’s  dorms. 
2. Meet with an admissions and/or financial aid counselor.During the admissions appointment, you will meet your personal admissions counselor.  You will learn about our academic requirements, campus life and the application process.  General financial aid and scholarship information will also be presented.

   During the financial aid appointment, you will meet your personal financial aid counselor.  Detailed information about scholarship searches, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and other forms of aid will be addressed.  Typically, these appointments last 45 minutes and are available before or after a campus tour.

3. Attend a class: During the fall and spring semesters, prospective students are welcome to accompany a current UST student to his/her class.
4. Meet with a faculty member or coach: The best way to find out about a program at UST is to get to know a member of the department.
5. Stay overnight: Overnight visits are available for accepted students. You will stay with a Tommie Ambassador in his/her dorm room and participate in the above activities throughout the day. All options are subject to availability. These are our most popular events and fill quickly. If you are interested in an overnight visit, we suggest that you schedule it as soon as possible.
