WELCOME!

The St. Olaf community is as strong as ever. Explore the ways you can virtually experience St. Olaf to envision yourself on campus and get a taste of the energy, compassion, and excellence Oles surround themselves with every day.

We have created three different types of visits that you can take advantage of to explore the Ole community, and discover the unique characteristics that make the Hill a life-changing place.

1. VISIT VIRTUALLY

We’re here for you. Connect with your Admissions Officer to get insight on the admissions and financial aid process; learn more in an interview and information session; and explore the ways you can learn about the community and academic opportunities from our students and faculty.

VIRTUAL CONNECTIONS

Register for an Information Session, Interview with an Admissions Officer, and 1:1 Conversations with current students and faculty.

VIRTUAL VISIT EXPERIENCE

Explore our campus tour, meet current Oles,
and get to know the Hill, virtually.

2.CONTACTLESS VISITS

Stay tuned to this page for unique opportunities to see the campus. Currently, we are offering the opportunity to see campus from your vehicle during our Driving Campus Tour.

3. VIRTUALLY NEAR YOU

We value our relationships with communities in high schools, college fairs, and community-based organizations. While we won’t be taking part in travel as usual this fall, we will still make every effort to connect to organizations and networks in your area.

FIND US "NEAR" YOU

Now through January – Build Your Best Application: At St. Olaf College we want to help you build the best Common Application or Coalition Application you can, which is why we invite you to join us for two types of personalized application support: a series of Virtual College Application Seminars and/or one on one Essay Help.

Register for our College Application Seminars (10/29, 11/5 & 11/10) and hear from members of the recruitment team about building your best application, editing resources, clichés to avoid, and other hot tips straight from the team members who will be reading your application.

St. Olaf Admissions is partnering with the St. Olaf Writing Desk to offer Common App Essay help to prospective students. In a tutoring session you will work collaboratively with your Writing Center tutor to brainstorm ideas, strengthen points, develop paragraphs, and organize thoughts. Please come prepared with a draft or outline of your college application essay. Appointments are most Sundays and Tuesdays through January.
