• Due to campus resources and on campus events group visits on the Oshkosh campus are limited to Tuesday and Thursdays with some Wednesdays. It is very rare that we will approve a visit on a Monday and Friday. You are welcome to reach out to other campus partners (ex. Academic/Major, Athletics offices) if you would like to inquire about a Monday or Friday visit. 
• Fall visit requests open August 1st and continue to be reviewed until dates are full. Typically fall visit dates are close to capacity by the end of September. 
• Spring visit requests can be submitted as early as August but will not begin review for visit date approval until mid-November. Spring visits are usually booked to capacity by mid-February if not sooner.
• Group fall visits begin around the second full week of classes to the week before Thanksgiving.
• Spring visits are booked from the last week of February to the week before campus commencement (we do not host groups the week of UWO spring break). 

• If you reached out via email or phone inquiring about a visit we will note your visit date interest but will not hold the date for you until the official group visit request form is received and approved.  
• The official request form needs to be successfully received a minimum of two weeks in advance of your preferred visit date as it may take 7-10 business days to approve your request during our high group visit and travel season.  
• The more information you have prepared and share in the request form the better and more efficiently we can serve you before, during and after your group visit. 
  • Age/grade level is not within high school.  
  • Date(s) requested not available and open dates are not possible for your schedule.  
  • Campus resources not available (host, tour guides, campus space, etc.)  
  • Received your request in to short of notice 
  • Our group visits are in high demand so we prefer group that can be on campus a minimum of 3 hours but preferably 4 especially if dining for lunch on campus.  
  • Group size – we do not intentionally turn away groups only because of size this often overlaps with resources or dates available.  
  • Reason for visit does not align with UWO mission 
  • Group has previously been disrespectful during visit. We do wrap up notes for each visit. 
• UW Oshkosh group visits strive to provide a personalized experience that meets the needs of your students but that is only possible if we have enough adequate information in advance. 
• You can request additions to the group visit skeletal itinerary within reason (in no particular order):
  • ~15 minute – Welcome/Activity 
  • ~70 minute tour
  • ~35 minute presentation
  • ~10 minutes for buffer and restroom breaks
  • ***Optional buffet dining experience on campus

• Once you click “submit” the screen should pop to a “Thank you! Your request has been submitted” message. In addition, please check the email you provided on the request form for a confirmation that your request was successfully submitted. If you did not receive an email, we did not receive your request/information. You are welcome to email us screen shot if your internet browser is not letting you submit the form.  
• If we have no follow up questions regarding your submission, we will confirm your visit request within 7 to 10 business days. If there are questions about your request, we will communicate those to you via email.
• If at any point in time you would like to verify that we have received your request, make an update to your request, or have questions on the status of your request please do not hesitate to contact us at specialgroups@uwosh.edu.
