Schedule your Group Visit
Make Your Visit a Success!
You can lay the foundation early for a successful group tour by preparing your students in advance for the visit. Challenge them to be prepared with questions for the admissions counselor and student tour guides. Our tour guides are current Boise State students who love showing the campus to visitors and get excited sharing their own college experience with prospective students. Please review our tips for planning and FAQs before making your reservation.
TIPS FOR ENSURING A SUCCESSFUL VISIT:
- Plan ahead. We request a minimum of two (2) week’s notice to process your request for a visit and send your confirmation. A confirmation email will be sent from visitus@91ciba.com once your request is received and reviewed.
- Check available dates. Group visits will not be scheduled on weekends or major holidays.
- Get an accurate headcount for your group. We ask that high school groups have one (1) chaperone for every twenty (20) students and elementary or middle school groups have one (1) chaperone for every fifteen (15) students.
- Please arrive on time. Allow yourself ample time to arrive on campus. Groups will be notified on where to meet in their confirmation email. Please note that if groups arrive twenty (20) minutes after the scheduled start time, the tour will be canceled.
- Stay together. Teachers/chaperones must stay with their assigned group throughout the visit. The chaperones are responsible for monitoring the group and ensuring that students are safe and respectful while on campus.
- Be considerate. Please discuss with your students the importance of being quiet and respectful during the presentations, and promoting positive behavior while on tour.
- Need to request a change? Schedule changes made within one (1) week of your visit date cannot be guaranteed, but we’ll do our best to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances that may affect your group visit.
- Need to cancel? If conflicts arise and you are unable to attend your visit, please contact us as soon as possible.
