Visit UWEC
A campus visit designed for you
You may have heard that visiting campus is the best way to know if it is the right fit for you — and we agree! But we also understand that not everyone is looking for the same thing on their visit. That is why we have designed a variety of visit options with you in mind. You can choose from one of our many visit options including a general campus visit, an academic program visit or even a virtual option like our virtual student panel.
Visit options
To get started, choose the visit option you would like to explore.
Apply in July
Join us for one of our in-person or virtual application events. The in-person events will be hosted at locations across Wisconsin and Minnesota. On July 1, those who have registered for one of our Apply in July events will be granted early access to complete their application.
In-Person Visit Options
We have resumed in-person visits with the health and safety of our visitors and campus community as our top priority. Per the CDC's guidelines, our group sizes will be small and all visitors will be required to wear a mask. As safety guidelines allow, we will add additional in-person visits including academic program and special interest visits.

Each academic program virtual session will include an info session hosted by a department faculty member followed by a Q&A session.
