Visiting with a group of 10 or more students?
Starting June 11, Summer 2024 group visits will be offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11:00-12:00 PM through August 8. Please email Katherine Torrey at torreyk@oxy.edu to schedule a visit, and review the following guidelines prior to sending your request:
We invite groups of 10 to 50 students from high schools and community-based organizations to Occidental for a 45-minute student-led campus tour, and 15-minute Admission and Financial Aid session led by an Admission Officer. These visits are reserved only for students in grades 10 through 12.
- Our campus is small and only has the capacity to host 50 visitors or fewer at a time. We cannot accommodate groups larger than 50.
- If you are planning to eat while on campus, our dining hall is available to visitors, but please note that it is cash only. If you plan to eat at the dining hall with a group of 20 students or more, please notify Katherine Torrey at torreyk@oxy.edu while requesting your visit, so that we can alert our dining staff. We ask that groups do not bring their own lunches to enjoy on campus without prior approval.
- You will receive confirmation for your visit with additional details after registering. Please do NOT make travel arrangements to visit Occidental prior to receiving a confirmation from the Office of Admission.
- Please note that if you are more than fifteen minutes late to your visit, your tour will be self-guided and you will not receive an information session.
Elementary and Middle School Groups
If you are interested in scheduling a self-guided tour for elementary or middle school students, please contact Katherine Torrey at torreyk@oxy.edu for more information. We are unable to offer guided tours to K-9th grade students at this time.
