Campus Visits Response to COVID-19
UW-Stout, like other universities, is actively engaged in efforts to mitigate the impacts from COVID-19 (commonly known as coronavirus). This has challenged us to navigate some unchartered waters. Our team is working hard to bring the UW-Stout experience to you, and we are here and ready to connect with you. See visit experience options below!
Modified Daily Weekday Campus Visit Experience OPEN NOW!!
We are excited to open registration for our in-person daily weekday campus visits but it is incredibly important to us that we do so safely. For a full description of the health and safety measures being implemented on our campus, please visit our COVID-19 website. Below are the precautions we are taking specific to campus tours to ensure the health and safety of our staff and visitors in response to COVID-19:
- Please do not attend your visit if you or anyone in your household is ill.
- All attendees, tour guides and staff members are required to wear masks during the campus visit (unless an individual has an underlying health issue that prevents the use of a mask). If you do not have a mask, we will provide one for you.
- The total group size will be limited to 25 visitors. No walk-ins will be accepted at this time.
- Social distancing is required throughout the campus visit. You will need to maintain a 6-foot distance between you, other visiting families, Admissions staff, and tour guides.
In addition, some areas of campus that would normally be included in your tour are currently closed. Please carefully read the adjustments to the tour.
- Dining facilities on campus are currently closed.
- The bookstore (Stout Fitters) is currently closed.
- As of Monday August 17, 2020 our dorm showroom will no longer be available for viewing. We do have video of the dorm showroom available for viewing.
- Some buildings may not be available during your campus tour. Your tour guide will still provide information on all of campus, but may not be allowed to enter all buildings.
- The tour guide will have access to the buildings included in your guided tour, but all buildings are locked, and will not be available for you to explore before or after your tour.
We offer arrival times of arrival times of 9AM, 11AM, and 1PM.

Virtual Campus Preview/Transfer Day Events!
Although we are still unable to host large open house style visits on campus, we are offering three Virtual Campus Preview/Transfer Day events! These jam-packed events are the best way to learn everything you want to know about UW-Stout. These events will consist of an admissions overview, campus tour video, informational fair with presentations from housing, dining, and other offices across campus, an academic expo where you can learn more about our major offerings, and a LIVE student panel where you can hear from current UW-Stout students! Transfer students will also get the opportunity to connect with our transfer admissions team!
The day will start at 9:00 a.m. with a LIVE student panel scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and LIVE transfer day sessions available from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00p.m. Admissions counselors will be available all day for texted questions or phone calls.
