How do I visit Eastern?
Beginning May 11, the University will observe summer hours. While the Office of Admissions will be open Monday - Friday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, most University departments will close at noon on Fridays.
What is EIU really like? Come check us out for yourself:
- Schedule a campus visit/tour. Student-led campus tours are offered when school is in session and on select Saturdays.
- Five Open House programs are scheduled during the academic year. These programs provide a one-stop shopping experience.
- Group tours: A great opportunity for your educational organization or group.
- Shadow program: Gives prospective students an opportunity to "shadow" a current student and tour campus.
- Just drop in and talk with any of our students, faculty, and staff.
These are the most popular ways prospective students and families can visit EIU. You might also want to visit us at one of our many athletic events, musical performances, or theatrical productions.
