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).
We have updated our visit programs to provide all prospective students opportunities to explore Drake remotely through weekday student-guided virtual tours, virtual individual admission counselor appointments, and the Virtual Sneak Peek at Drake program. A limited number of on-campus visits are available for senior and transfer students only, with adherence to health and safety guidelines. Date availability is listed.
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!
