Classroom Visits


The Class Visit Program is designed to give you, the student, the opportunity to experience academic life at Fairfield University. We have worked closely with our faculty to make a variety of courses available in which you can participate. You will also have the opportunity to go to lunch with one of our current students and experience the dining hall and all it has to offer.

Class Visits will be offered on the following dates for the Spring 2013 semester:

  • Tuesday, February 19th through Thursday, March 7th
  • Tuesday, March 19th through Tuesday, March 26th
  • Tuesday, April 2nd through Friday, April 26th

You have the option of choosing whether to attend a 9:30 AM class or a 2:00 PM class. Whichever you choose is entirely up to you, so feel free to choose the course(s) in which you are most interested (please choose 3). Please bear in mind that not all classes will be available to observe at all times due to quizzes, tests, presentations, number of seats available, and other limits that are set by the faculty. For this reason we kindly ask for at least 2 weeks advance notice for all requests in order to communicate with our faculty. In the event that a course is unavailable, we will initiate communication with the faculty of your second or third choice of class.

Your schedule will vary depending on which class/time you choose. For either option, please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior:
