OMAHA - After about three months of hosting remote tours by computer, some colleges have decided it’s time to offer on-campus visits again to prospective students and their parents. In the competitive world of higher education, colleges seek an edge or don’t want to be left behind. Smaller colleges also generally don’t have to deal with the big numbers of visitors that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln or Iowa State might have to handle when hosting in-person visits. Neither of those institutions has resumed in-person prospective student visits.

However, some fairly large schools, like Creighton and the University of Nebraska at Kearney, plan to start on-campus visits soon or already have begun. They say on-campus tours give them a good trial run for bringing students back for classes in August.

At the University of Nebraska at Omaha, an assistant vice chancellor said by email that “the soonest we would consider resuming in-person visits will likely be in the fall semester.”
