High School Group Visit Requests

High schools are welcome to plan a visit to Pacific University Oregon campus. Each visit lasts about two hours. Each request is handled individually and at a first-come-first-serve basis. The Campus Tour and Visit Coordinator will be in contact with your group about scheduling.

Please review the following information before requesting a tour for your group:

• High school age students/groups.
• Visit groups must be 45 students or less, not including chaperones.
• Group visits are by appointment early and must be requested at least two weeks in advance.
• We ask all visit times be strictly adhered to. Please notify the Undergraduate Admissions Office if you are running late for your scheduled visit.
• Chaperones are required to supervise their students and ensure that they remain respectful to the presenters and tour guides throughout the visit. Please note the group visit should be treated as an academic learning opportunity; chaperones must be present to supervise students throughout the visit.
• Chaperones may be asked to assist in passing out materials, splitting students into tour groups, or any other group task.
• Tour guides have been instructed to conclude their tours and return the group back to chaperones if students are being disrespectful or acting out during the tour.

Due to limited availability, we ask that these guidelines are strictly adhered to. Failure to do so may result in the inability to continue hosting your group/organization in the future.
