Group visits are designed for current high school students interested in learning more about North Park University and the college application process. The visit begins at 9:00 am, 10:00 am or 11:00 am, and includes an interactive presentation and campus tour. The 11:00 am option also includes lunch in our dining hall (during the academic year). The entire visit experience will be between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.

(Please note that group visits are not available on Wednesdays at 11:00 am due to our University chapel schedule.)

Although we try to accommodate all group visit requests, we are not able to offer variations in the program options for your visit. In order reserve your group visit, all groups must submit the online request form. A minimum of two weeks’ notice is required for groups of 50 or fewer students.

Due to space and staffing, we cannot accommodate all group visit requests; they will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We also cannot accommodate elementary school groups or host any group visits on Saturdays or Sundays. For more information about group visits please contact our Visit Desk.
