Thank you for your interest in Fairfield University. We are looking forward to welcoming your high school group to campus. In order to have the best experience, please follow the guidelines below:
General Guidelines
- We are only able to accommodate groups of high school students during the academic year (September through May). Groups containing students younger than high school may be accommodated during the summer months as space allows.
- Please allow at least three (3) weeks' notice for all group visit requests.
- Due to high demand, alternative dates are appreciated.
- The maximum number of students for a group visit is 30. For every 10 students, at least one (1) chaperone is required (see Chaperone Policy below).
- Please wait to receive a confirmation e-mail before arranging travel plans.
Chaperone Policy
The Office of Undergraduate Admission requires that groups visiting campus have one (1) chaperone per every ten (10) students. We ask that chaperones remain with their students at all times. In order to have the best possible experience, we limit the groups to a maximum of 40 students. Unruly and/or disrespectful behavior will result in the immediate request to leave campus and the organization will forfeit the opportunity to return in the future.
