[civsa] Spring break visits

[Greiner, Ania]

We have admitted student visits every Friday from early February until early May. The only exception is our spring break week because there are no students and faculty around and it’s not the best way to showcase our otherwise lively campus. Faculty work these events too and they will NOT work during spring break. Mid-March and early April are the most heavily-attended dates (especially Easter weekend). We’re on semesters and our finals week isn’t until mid-May, so fortunately we have no conflict there. We have even offered admitted student days after the May 1 deadline, and have had fairly decent attendance (our confirmation “deadline” is a soft deadline).

Hope that helps!

Subject: [civsa] Spring break visits

We are on the quarter system, so March is a tricky time to plan visit programs due to finals week and spring break. We still offer daily visits including an admitted student session every morning, but I wonder if we are losing traction by not having anything during the second and third week of March.

So my questions:

1)       When are your admitted student visits?

2)       If you have an admitted student visit program in the middle of March, do you think they are mission critical?

3)       In your opinion at your school, is early April too late for an admitted program?

4)       Has anyone had to have a visit program while you school is on break. How did it go?

Thanks, and happy planning out there!
