On-Campus Appointments, Tours and Virtual Visit Opportunities
On-Campus Appointments and/or Campus Tours
ATTENTION: Due to the City of Chicago's Emergency Travel Order we ask guests from impacted states to defer their visit to campus until such time when the emergency travel order is lifted for their respective state. Residents of Illinois or other states who travel to states covered by the order are asked to defer their visit to campus until they have fulfilled the mandated 14-day quarantine.
To schedule an on-campus appointment with an admission counselor and/or a campus tour, please submit our Campus Visit Registration Form. PLEASE NOTE:
- All guests will be required to submit an Informed Consent for Visitors Form 24 hours prior to the scheduled visit appointment. Details will be sent by email after scheduling a visit.
- Due to social distancing guidelines and space constraints, prospective students may bring no more than two guests to the on-campus appointment and/or tour.
- Small group tours may include multiple families but will be limited to no more than 10 people.
- Masks are required while on campus.
- Visitors to the Office of Admission should park in Parking Lot 11.
- For the safety of staff and guests, ample hand sanitizer stations are located near the Office of Admission and throughout campus.

Test-Blind Admission Policy for Fall 2021 Freshman Applicants
Due to COVID-19's significant disruption on students' ability to take the ACT or SAT exam, SXU has announced a test-blind admission policy for freshmen applying for the fall 2021 semester. This means that the ACT or SAT are not required for fall 2021 applicants and will not be used in admission decisions or for calculating merit scholarships, with some exceptions. For additional details, we encourage you to visit our No Test Required Admission Policy page.
