Group Visits

Oakland University is excited to host groups of prospective students for an informative and exciting visit experience. Throughout the academic year and beyond, Undergraduate Admissions offers groups of high school (grades 9 - 12) and community college students the opportunity to learn why OU is a top choice in higher education, and to tour our beautiful campus.

Group Visits are offered most Monday - Thursday mornings. Visits include a presentation (including college readiness and OU Admissions information), and a campus tour.
