*Due to COVID-19 health concerns, we are not scheduling our traditional on campus visits at this time; however, we want to offer virtual visits.
You can read about our academic programs, faculty, and community life on our website and in brochures, but nothing can compare to experiencing campus life for yourself. A campus visit is the best way to decide if LCU is right for you. See below for the various ways you can visit our campus. We look forward to meeting you!
Individual Visit
We will customize your day on our main campus in Lincoln, Illinois, with an in-depth, one-on-one visit experience that fits your individual needs. Some of the things your visit can include are:
- Meet with an enrollment counselor
- Campus tour
- Meet with an LCU professor
- Undergraduate Chapel worship (Tuesday mornings only)
- Lunch with a student
- Class visit
- Meet with an athletic coach
- Overnight stay in a residence hall (individual visits may be scheduled Monday through Thursday)
