Admitted Student Visit Opportunities

Congratulations on your acceptance to Mount St. Mary's University! As you embark on the next phase of your college journey, we encourage you to explore our campus through one of our various visit opportunities. Whether you opt for an in-person experience on our scenic grounds or choose to participate in one of our virtual events, each option is designed to assist you in making informed decisions during this crucial time in your college selection process.

If you already have a specific date in mind for your visit to our Emmitsburg campus, please utilize the calendar below to select your preferred date and discover the available programs for that day. If you're undecided about when to visit, we recommend reviewing the different visit options outlined below before making your decision.

Mountaineer Visits

Designed for students and families at any stage in the college search, Mountaineer Visits are a convenient and informative way to meet our admission team, ask any questions you might have and get a glimpse of life on campus. Mountaineer Visits are offered most Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and involve a 30-minute admissions presentation and a student-led tour of campus.

May Crowning

Gazing over the Mount's campus from the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is a gold leaf statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, resting atop a 95-foot-tall tower. Each May, Grotto pilgrims and members of the Mount community gather for Mass and an honorary crowning of the Blessed Virgin's statue.

This year, we invite you to join us for a special admissions event prior to Mass and the May Crowning (you don't need to attend Mass to register for the admissions event).
