NPU Preview Days
NPU Preview Days offer you a first-hand taste of the North Park University experience by giving you the opportunity to talk with students and professors, eat in our food service, sit in on a class, and attend a worship celebration. High-school seniors can even stay overnight in one of our dorms. Parents are welcome, and we have special activities just for them. NPU Preview Days are an ideal way for both high-school and transfer students to get to know North Park better.
Register for your NPU Preview Days visit at least one week in advance. If you register less than one week ahead, we can't guarantee capacity for on-campus housing.
Making Arrangements
Accommodations for parents and for high-school sophomores and juniors must be made directly with hotels in the area. Ask the hotel about transportation to and from campus. A vast array of car rental agencies have offices at O'Hare and Midway Airports.
We can pick you up at the airport, train station, or bus terminal if you arrive between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm and make your arrangements with us at least two weeks in advance.
If you would like to request a meeting with a particular professor, coach, or academic advisor during your NPU Preview Days visit, please contact the Visit Desk by email or by phone at (773) 244-5511.
Register online or call the Visit Desk at (800) 888-6728 or (773) 244-5511.
