Prospective Student Visit Opportunities

As you embark on your college exploration journey, we invite you to discover our campus through various visit opportunities. Whether you prefer to visit us in person on our picturesque grounds or participate in one of our engaging virtual events, each option is designed to help you make informed decisions during this important phase of your college selection process.

If you have a specific date in mind for your visit to our Emmitsburg campus, please use the calendar below to select your preferred date and explore the available programs for that day. If you're unsure about when to visit, we encourage you to review 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).
