What You Should Know About An Official Campus Visit

Know what the school is paying for before you accept!

Most Division 1 schools pay for the entire visit (transportation, lodging and meals).
Some smaller Division 1 schools, and most Division 2 and 3 schools, pay for part or none of the trip.

How many Official Visits can you make?

In Divisions 1 and 2, you are allowed a total of five official visits between the two divisions.
Although an official visit to a Division 3 school does not count in the five-visit limit, you may not make more than one official visit to a Division 3 school.
If you live within driving distances of a college that interests you, you may be better off making an unofficial visit to that campus and save the official visits for more-distant colleges.

How long can you stay?

Official visits are limited to 48-hour from the minute you arrive on campus.
If a coach drives you to the campus the 48 hours begins when he starts transporting you.
