I’m a junior in high school and UA is on my list of schools to visit. What options do I have to visit campus?
The Spring Visit Day scheduled to be held on Saturday, April 25 has been canceled. We apologize about the inconvenience. The University of Akron will assess the situation in late April and make decisions about when future visit opportunities will be available, based on recommendations from public health officials, University leadership and the State of Ohio. We will be sure to communicate visit opportunities with you.
UA will host several visit opportunities this summer. These dates will be posted soon.
