[civsa] Faculty Appointments as part of Campus Tour

[Galbreath, Alexandra]

Hello Everyone,

At Oregon State University, prospective students have the option to select “Academic Advising Meeting with a departmental adviser or representative (30 minutes)” when they register for a campus visit online  (we do indicate in our online registration that all options are subject to availability). For our most popular colleges (Engineering, Business and Science), they are put on a college specific campus tour that is offered once per day in lieu of an academic appointment. For our other academic colleges, our Ambassadors individually schedule them with an academic adviser/rep from a list of specific contacts via phone. Some colleges have “blackout dates” (i.e. during peak advising time) where they are not available and prospective students are fairly understanding of that.

We offer four campus tours per day at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm, along with other visit options. If a student indicates an arrival time that won’t accommodate their requests or an appointment time, we will reach out and ask if they can arrive at a different time. Hope that is helpful!

Best,
Alex

Good day everyone!
The topic today is faculty appointments!  Does your institution provide an appointment with a faculty member as part of the standard tour experience?
If so, have you discovered a way of arranging appointments which creates the least resistance and is convenient and manageable for everyone involved?  We find that while faculty are open and agreeable to meeting with prospective students and families, arranging the appointment time within the structure of a tour is very difficult.
Please share your ideas and experiences.  Have a great weekend everyone!  Happy Friday!
