    Senior Visit Days

    Join us for a Senior Visit Day this fall or early spring—group visit experiences designed just for high school seniors. You’ll connect with other future V-Hawks, meet with faculty and coaches, attend a financial aid session, and get an inside look at life on campus at Viterbo University. Registration for these events begins at 8 a.m. with the program beginning at 8:45 a.m. The event will conclude shortly after noon with an option for families to enjoy lunch on campus if they wish. High school seniors graduating in 2026 who have applied, been accepted, and attend one of the Senior Visit Day events will receive a FREE Adidas backpack at the end of their Senior Visit Day as a thank you for checking out what life could be like as a V-Hawk.
