In-Person Campus Visits
The best way to know us is to come see us.
---------------
You may have heard that Bloomsburg University has moved to remote delivery of nearly all its classes for this fall. However, we still plan to offer in-person campus tours to prospective students and their supporters. If you registered for a campus visit, we look forward to seeing you and committed to keeping you and your supporters safe by following all PA Department of Health guidelines. For more details, please visit our Coronavirus website for up-to-date details. We can't wait to see you on campus!

We are looking forward to seeing you for your scheduled on-campus visit. Before you come to campus, we wanted to inform you that members of the BU Community have tested positive for COVID-19. In response, the University is actively engaging in appropriate safety precautions. For daily updates, please refer to bloomu.edu/coronavirus.
As we proactively monitor the entire campus community, we will continue to collaborate and coordinate with Geisinger Health, the Columbia County Department of Health, and the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Bloomsburg University reminds all members of the BU community to continue to wear a face mask, adhere to proper social distancing, and wash hands frequently.
If you would prefer to reschedule your campus visit to a later date, please contact our office. You can also explore Bloomsburg virtually from the comfort of your own home (options are listed in the tab above).
In preparation for your visit, please make note of the requirements below. These have been developed in accordance with health directives provided by the Governor, the Department of Health and the following Center for Disease Control [cdc.gov] (CDC) guidance. If you, or anyone who may be visiting with you, have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19, we ask that you contact our admissions team at buadmiss@bloomu.edu or 570-389-4316 to reschedule your visit – we'll be here for you!
