Senior Day visits
Senior Days are complete for the 2012-2013 school year.
EXPLORE the KU campus. LEARN about classes and majors. EXPERIENCE Rock Chalk traditions. DISCOVER why KU is a great place to be.
What is Senior Day?
Senior Day is a chance for high school seniors and their parents/guardians to visit KU. Each Senior Day includes information sessions from academic faculty and support services staff, student panels or student-led campus tours, lunch at Mrs. E's Dining Hall, and a residence hall tour.
There is a small fee, and online registration is required. All seniors must register separately. Registrations are accepted on a space-available basis.
If you haven't decided on a field of study, or are interested in a major in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences or the School of Social Welfare, choose one of the all-majors days. There are also Senior Days with a specific academic focus, such as business, engineering, or journalism.
