Make Your Visit a Success!

You can lay the foundation early for a successful group tour by preparing your students in advance for the visit. Challenge them to be prepared with questions for the admissions counselor and student tour guide. Our tour guides are current Boise State students who love showing the campus to visitors and get excited sharing their own college experience with prospective students. Please review our tips for planning and FAQs before making your reservation.

Please follow these tips to ensure that your visit is a pleasant experience for everyone:

Plan ahead. We request two (2) week’s notice to process your request for a visit and send your confirmation. We will do our best to accommodate your date request but due to office hours we may need to consider alternative dates. A confirmation email will be sent from groupvisits@boisestate.edu once your request is received and reviewed.
Group size is based on space availability, but we ask that there be one (1) chaperone for every (20) students.
Group visits will not be scheduled on weekends or major holidays.
Schedule changes made within one (1) week of your visit date cannot be guaranteed, but we’ll do our best to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances that may affect your virtual group visit
If conflicts arise and you are unable to attend your virtual visit, please contact us as soon as possible.

TIPS FOR ENSURING A SUCCESSFUL VISIT

Please arrive on time. Allow yourself ample time to arrive on campus. Groups will be notified on where to meet in their confirmation email.
Teachers/chaperones must stay with their assigned group throughout the campus visit. The chaperones are responsible for monitoring the group and ensuring that individuals behave.
Please discuss with your students the importance of being quiet and respectful during the presentations, and promoting positive behavior while on tour.
Encourage your students to come with questions for our presenters and student tour guides. We are excited to show you Boise State, but want to do our best to answer your questions and meet your needs throughout your visit.
