Admissions

Admissions is the first building you'll see as you come onto campus. This is where you would schedule any tours with campus, overnight visits, visits with professors, or gather information on how to apply to campus.

The tour guides (Jay Walkers) that are on campus are students themselves, who are employed by admissions. Students give guided tours of campus and the main areas of interest including, but not limited to: the High Library, bookstore, dining halls, dormitories, sporting facilities and classrooms. This allows for prospective students to get a glance at campus before they decide on committing to come to our wonderful institution.

For any overnight visit you would stay with an actual student here at Elizabethtown College. This student will be your roommate for the night, take you to classes one day and show you what it is like in the typical day of a college student. I highly suggest taking an overnight at any institution you are thinking about going to as it gives you a better look into the everyday activities, rather than just reading or being told about them.

Admissions is also the place where you can schedule to meet with professors or coaches when you come for a visit. Granted, this meeting must be made ahead of time to give them some warning and pencil you into the schedule, but it is never an issue. Admissions always makes sure you get to see who you need to see.

Lastly, make sure to grab all of the information and forms that you would need to apply from our Admissions Office. They can tell you what you would need in your GPA and SAT scores to be considered for admission. Also, they would be able to get you in contact with the Financial Aid Office in order to see what financial aid package you would be eligible for. In the process of applying to college, the Admissions Office should be your best friend.

The Admissions Office can even be your place of employment should you decide to come here and join our happy family. Students are employed to help with sending out papers, organizing Open Houses, giving tours and answering phone calls. This job really is great because you get to help out other people who are in the same position you were only a few years prior.

Overall, Admissions is the main place to get your information and set up everything from tours to meetings. They will help you with whatever you need and make sure that you are happy. Be sure to stop by at some point!
