Information Session & Tour
Information Session & Tour
All first-time visitors are encouraged to schedule a regular campus visit, which typically includes a 30-minute information session followed by a 75-minute walking tour of campus led by a current student.
Campus visits are usually held at 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on weekdays throughout the year, and at 10:00 a.m. on many Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters. View our searchable calendar to see upcoming availability and to register for a campus visit. Registration is not required, but is preferred.
Schools and organizations wishing to bring a group of students to campus should request a group visit.
Informational Interviews
Spider Chats
A Spider Chat is a one-on-one opportunity to meet with a current Richmond student, share your interests, explore Richmond as a match for you, and learn more about the University from someone who knows it well. Spider Chats typically last 20-30 minutes, and are available to current and rising high school seniors by appointment from June to November, with time slots both before and after our weekday information sessions and tours. Slots are limited, so you are encouraged to sign up early.
To schedule a Spider Chat, register online for an Information Session and Tour; available Spider Chats will display once you begin the registration process. (If you have already registered for a campus visit and wish to add a Spider Chat, you can update your existing reservation via the "cancel" link in the confirmation email you received.) You must register for a Spider Chat at least three business days in advance.
If you are unable to visit campus, a similar opportunity may be available in your area via our Alumni Spider Chats.
Spiders in Session (Class Visits)
Spiders in Session (Class Visits)
late January to mid-April
There's no better way to understand the depth of the academic experience at Richmond than to sit in on a class. During the fall and spring semesters, you may choose to visit up to two classes, in which you'll sit side by side with current Richmond students and meet professors who are knowledgeable in the subjects that matter most to you.
Scheduled class visits are available from mid-September to mid-November and from February until mid-April. To schedule a class visit, register online. Be sure to sign up well in advance, as space is limited; you must register at least five business days prior to your visit.
