Admissions tour guide gives a campus tour to high school students and parents.

Group Visits

Each year, St. Thomas welcomes groups from high schools, charter schools and community-based organizations to our St. Paul campus. Group visits are available on select Tuesdays during the St. Thomas spring semester. All visits include a 30-minute admissions presentation and an hour-long campus tour, followed by an optional lunch paid for by St. Thomas. For questions, please contact Kyle Thomas at kthomas@stthomas.edu.

Our Policies

We do our best to accommodate as many groups of high school students as possible, but group visits will not be accommodated:

  • During admissions events or university breaks or holidays
  • The week of midterms and finals
  • The month of January

Please note:

  • Group visits consist of a tour of our St. Paul campus and a 30-minute admissions presentation. The admissions presentation will cover information about both our 4-year program and the Dougherty Family College.
  • Group visit requests will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. We do reach capacity quickly.
  • We can allow a maximum number of 50 students.
  • Visiting students must be in grades 9-12.
  • We can accommodate one group visit per week.
  • One adult chaperone is required for every 10 students. It is the responsibility of each chaperone to monitor the behavior of their students. Improper student conduct can result in a group losing future visit privileges.
  • If you are driving vehicles other than a bus, or taking public transportation, please get in touch with the Visit Team.
  • The University does not pay for group visit transportation.
  • A complimentary lunch on campus is available upon request.
