GET TO KNOW CAMPUS
We are excited to offer in-person visits and virtual visit opportunities (which include a virtual tour and one-one-one counselor meeting), academic sessions, and virtual events. We know experiencing campus, whether it’s in-person or virtually, is one of the most important things you can do in your college search and look forward to meeting you soon.
Immediately after entering campus, I could feel the close-knit community embodied through the surrounding greenery and towering evergreens scattered throughout the campus... PLU's campus feels like home.

In-person visits require an RSVP at least 2 days in advance and are limited to 1 student and up to 3 guests from the same household per tour time with the exception of Admitted Student Tour Days and Saturday Campus Tours where two groups following the same guidelines stated above are able to attend the same tour. We cannot accommodate walk-in requests.
A Campus Visit includes:
- A campus tour led by a current student
- A one-on-one meeting with an Admission Counselor
While on campus we enforce strict mask-wearing, proper physical distancing, and the buildings you enter are limited (for example, you will not see inside a residence hall). If a tour time is not available on a day you are in our area, you are always welcome to walk campus on your own using our self-guided tour.
Virtual Campus Visit:
- Join a current student as they guide you through a virtual tour of campus followed by a 30-45 minute one-on-one meeting with one of our Admission Counselors to talk more about PLU.
Transfer Information Sessions:
- Join a 30-45 minute webinar hosted by one of our Transfer Admission Counselors to talk more about PLU with a specific focus on the transfer process, with allowed Q&A time at the end of each session.
Virtual Campus Visit:
- Join a current student as they guide you through a virtual tour of campus followed by a 30-45 minute one-on-one meeting with one of our Admission Counselors to talk more about PLU.
Transfer students:
Please note all official transcript evaluations are completed during the admission application process and cannot be done during a campus visit. Email your transfer admission counselor for more questions about transferable classes and unofficial transcript reviews. If you attend a local Washington Community College you can see a variety of 2-year transfer guides here. We also offer an interactive transfer guide any student may use to see what classes have transferred to PLU in the past from various colleges.
