Join us for a Group Visit!

Thank you for your interest in Iona University's Group Visits. We are looking forward to welcoming your group to campus.  Please read the description below to see if the Group Tour experience is best for you and how to submit your request.  

Who Can Request a Group Tour?

Group tours are primarily designed for high school students (grades 9-12) and are typically requested by guidance counselors, teachers or school administrators.

• We typically require a minimum of 10 students per group or a maximum of 40 students. Groups of 9 or fewer should register students individually for a daily Campus Tour and Information Session at www.iona.edu/visitus  
• We require a minimum of 1 chaperone for every 20 students. Chaperones are responsible for the behavior and supervision of their students throughout the tour.

What to Expect on Your Group Tour

A typical group tour at Iona University includes:

• A 30-minute admissions information session where students can learn about academic programs, student life and the application process.
• A guided walking tour of our beautiful campus, led by a current Iona student tour guide. Group members should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring any important personal items e.g. medications.
• Opportunities to see key facilities, including academic buildings, residence halls, dining areas and athletic facilities.
