Special Visit Programs
There are so many ways to get a sneak peek into the life at Ohio University! If you're a prospective first-year student, transfer student or high-achieving high school senior, there's a visit program for you.

Daily Campus Visits
OHIO offers in-person campus visits for freshman and transfer students. To keep you and our Bobcat community safe, registration is required, and all visitors must follow OHIO's COVID-19 safety protocols. If you're not able to visit in person, we are also offering many virtual visit opportunities.
