Information Sessions, Tours, Interviews (Closed Saturdays):

Information sessions and campus tours provide a great introduction to Fairfield University. Information Sessions last approximately 45 minutes and include an overview of academic and social life at Fairfield University, as well as the admission process and financial aid. Campus Tours last approximately 75-90 minutes and are led by one of our volunteer student tour guides. Tours provide insight into student life at Fairfield University and include visits to the DiMenna-Nyselius Library, the Barone Campus Center, a residence hall room, a classroom, and Egan Chapel of St. Ignatius Loyola.

An interview provides a great opportunity for you to speak directly with a representative from the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Your interviewer may be a member of the admission staff or a carefully selected and trained senior interviewer. During your interview you will have the opportunity to discuss your academic record and accomplishments, as well as your goals and aspirations. You will also have the opportunity to clarify any questions you may have about Fairfield University.

Interviews are not a required part of the admission process and students will not be penalized if they are unable to come to campus for an interview. Appointments are available upon request prior to the application deadline. Please check the information below for the most current schedule.

For large groups or special group visits please contact Alison Hildenbrand at (203) 254-4100 or ahildenbrand@mail.fairfield.edu. Special group tours require two weeks advanced notice.
