OYES (Order Your Educational Steps) Group Visit Request
The Office of Admissions is excited to host your group on campus!
OYES (Order Your Educational Steps) Visits
Order Your Educational Steps (OYES) visits are geared toward high school students of underrepresented populations (African-American, Latinx, First-Generation), but all groups are welcome! What makes OYES visits so special is an opportunity for underrepresented students to see their representation on campus. Your visit will be led by our Diversity Student Ambassadors (DSAAs).
We host visits Monday-Friday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET. Please be sure to request your visit at least 2 weeks in advance.
Prepare For Your Visit
Accommodations can be requested when you register for an OYES visit. Please indicate if anyone in your group requires ASL or Spanish interpretation, or physical accommodations, etc. on the registration form under, "Additional Requests."
A meal voucher will be provided for students and chaperones to use at our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall the Ville Grill.
Parking is provided for your group. Instructions for parking will be sent directly to the requester before the day of the visit.
Our staff will make every effort to keep your Group Visit appointment. If your visit is canceled for inclement weather or an emergency, we will contact you as soon as possible.
- If classes are delayed two hours, the program will begin at the regularly scheduled time.
- If classes are canceled and the university is closed, the program will be canceled as well.
- If there is severe weather on the day of your visit, check our campus weather status on our homepage or call 502.852.5555 for the open status of our University.
- If your visit is canceled but you have already traveled to Louisville, please contact us and we will try our best to work with you!
Here are some helpful tips to help your group prepare for your campus tour:
- Dress casually and for the weather. Group visits will continue rain or shine barring any emergency weather.
- Comfortable shoes for the tour are a must.
- A jacket or umbrella are helpful in case of rain.
