Visits for Transfer Students

COVID-19 Update

Lake Forest College has lifted the masking mandate in indoor spaces across campus and has moved to a mask-optional policy. These changes are in line with the CDC guidance, including the guidance for institutions of higher education, and the Lake County Health Department. Masks may be required in certain situations. Please be prepared to put on a mask if requested by a Lake Forest College faculty or staff member while you are on campus.

We will continue to offer virtual experiences that can be tailored to your interests. You can find the most up-to-date information for the College at lakeforest.edu/coronavirus.

Register for our Transfer Visit Day!

A campus visit could include:
• campus tour
• on-site admission appointment*

*On-site admission is designed to take the stress out of the application process and waiting for an admission decision. To take advantage of this opportunity, you must submit a transfer application and official college and high school transcripts at least two business days before your scheduled chat. We do not charge an application fee and you can submit your academic letter of recommendation and transcripts with the application or have them sent to us separately. Your admission counselor may determine that additional information is needed to make an enrollment decision.
