We request that you make a reservation for a campus tour online at visit.nku.edu. This will help the Office of Admissions & Welcome Center estimate how many people will be on each tour. We try to limit the number of people so we can offer you the best campus tour experience possible. This also gives the student and their family more time to spend on campus and more opportunities to ask their admission counselor questions.
If you choose to register for an academic session with your visit, you will be meeting with representatives from your major of interest. If you know that you would like to meet with someone in an academic major outside of an academic session, we strongly recommend that you make an appointment with that specific college BEFORE you arrive to campus.
