COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus—Update from The Office of Admission

The Office of Admission is taking precautions to protect our students, faculty and staff, and prospective students from the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 infections across Greater Des Moines and Iowa, we have moved to full virtual delivery of classes until the beginning of the Spring Semester. At this time, in-person Office of Admission visit options are not available. Alternatively, we have a wide array of interactive virtual admission programs available.

Ongoing updates from the University are available on the COVID-19 Response website.

High school seniors, we'll roll out the blue carpet for you!

Choose from a variety of options offered in the three sections below: Individual Personalized Visits, Group Visit Programs, or Academic Meetings & Special Topics.
