 Lafayette is happy to welcome your student group to campus!  Group Visits for up to 50 high school juniors and/or seniors include a campus tour and information session.  Reservations must be made at least four weeks prior to your requested visit date.  We will do our best to accommodate your preferences, but Lafayette cannot guarantee availability on your preferred date(s) or times due to the high volume of requests.  We are unable to accommodate group visits on days when we anticipate a high volume of visitors or when our students are on break.  To schedule a Group Visit please contact visitation@lafayette.edu.

Off-Campus Interviews

Lafayette offers a variety of opportunities for off-campus interviews during the fall and winter months, including individual interviews with Territory Managers, Alumni/Staff Interviewing Receptions, and individual Alumni Admissions Representative interviews (available only to applicants).
