<p>We've read the website numerous times and can't figure this out. Do you have to call and register for tours and info sessions (not special visitor days, mind you).</p>
<p>There is a number, but it could also be interpreted that the number is to register to visit a particular college.</p>
<p>We will be in the area next week, and may just show up and take our chances.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>

^Here’s the info you’re looking for regarding scheduling a tour and info session.</p>
<p>Another point, besides university tour. You can call the individual college and ask to see someone from the program you’re interested in. At least you’ll have a chance. We did that for poly sci (a year ago for son), and for engineering & architecture in March (for our daughter - junior in high school). </p>
<p>For son, I sent an e-mail on a Sunday night to a poly sci prof (found on website), and got an immediate answer. Eventually, we arranged on a date time during admitted students day. We (mom/dad/2 kids) had a private meeting with the chair of poly sci, and one of the student advisors went over the course list with my son.</p>
<p>For daughter, made three phone calls - 1 to arrange tour of SU; 2 to admissions office for engineering; 3 to admissions office of architecture. She got the appointments she wanted. When we visited, she met an admissions officer in Link Hall (eng), got a complete top to bottom tour (including massive structures lab), and had a 20 minute 1 on 1 with a civil eng professor. In architecture, they arranged for a tour of Slocum (again, top to bottom) with a sophomore, then we had a private meeting with an arch admissions officer along with a junior in arch.</p>
<p>With daughter, the tour and info session were about an hour or so. Arch was about an hour. Eng was about 1 1/2 hours.</p>

<p>As I mentioned in my OP, I have read that page—again, what isn’t clear is: is an appt needed for a tour/info session, or for the visit to a particular college.</p>
<p>Website needs to be edited for clarity by the Eng. dept!!!</p>
