First-Year Students
Campus Visits
A visit to Augsburg is the best way to determine if you are meant to be an Auggie.
Explore our college in the city by meeting with an admissions counselor and touring campus with an Auggie Guide.
Your meeting with an admissions counselor helps us to get to know you and gives you an opportunity to ask questions about Augsburg, the admission process, and scholarships. Counselor visits last approximately 30 minutes. After your visit with the counselor, an Auggie Guide will give you a campus tour and share their Augsburg experience with you. The campus tour lasts approximately one hour.
Individual Campus Visits
Let us personalize your day! We are here to assist you with an Admissions visit and campus tour. Have you thought about sitting in on a class, participating in a rehearsal, or requesting an individual visit with a faculty member? Being an Auggie for the day can help you get a better feel for what it’s like to live it, eat it, breathe it. These experiences and more await you during the academic year (September – April).
Campus visit are held Monday through Friday throughout the summer (May – August), and begin at 9 and 11 am or in the afternoon at 1 and 3 pm. During this time you will have a visit with an Admissions Counselor and a tour of campus with an Auggie Guide.
Please note that Augsburg College will be closed on the following days:

We will confirm all visits by sending out a campus map with directions and a parking permit.
