Virtual visits

Penn State Beaver encourages virtual visits and virtual appointments with an admissions counselor whenever possible, for the safety of our prospective students and guests, as well as our students, faculty, and staff.

Virtual visits allow students and families to meet with an admissions staffer via Zoom to learn more about the campus’ offerings and to get questions answered in a small-group setting. 

On-campus visits

We are pleased to offer limited on-campus visits each weekday and on select Saturdays for students who have been offered admission for this summer or fall. Only high school seniors or adult learners with an offer of admission are currently eligible for a visit.
