Thank you for your interest in scheduling a Group Visit with Christopher Newport University! Through our Group Visit Program prospective middle and high school students will become familiar with CNU through an information session provided by current CNU students and a campus tour provided by CNU Student Ambassadors (about 2 hours total). Elementary school students will receive a tour only. Please review the following information carefully prior to completing and submitting your information form. 

Accommodations for Group Visits are limited; tours are scheduled Monday through Friday on a first-come, first-served basis.  

Group Visits are not available Saturday or Sunday. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Groups are still welcome on campus, however, no formal presentation or tour can be provided through the Admissions Office on these days.   

Requests for Group Visits must be received at least 2 weeks prior to your desired visit date. Your tour is not confirmed until you receive a confirmation notice that includes your tour date, time, and other pertinent information. Groups that do not show up for a scheduled tour or that cancel less than 72 hours prior to their scheduled visit will have future requests reviewed; if more than 2 of these failures to attend/cancellations occur, at our discretion, tours will not be scheduled for the group for at least one calendar year. 

There should be at least 1 chaperone for every 10 students visiting. Chaperones are expected to review the Group Visit Ground Rules with students before they arrive as well as play an active role in maintaining student compliance with those rules during the visit.
