Limiting the number of on-campus personal visits each day

Ohio Northern University is now providing on-campus visits to prospective students, according to its Facebook.

Visits may be scheduled as on-campus or virtual visits. 

Each option allows prospective students to meet with admissions, a faculty member in a chosen area of study, and a campus tour led by a current ONU student. 

ONU is limiting the number of on-campus personal visits each day to protect the health and safety of the campus and visitors. Protective measures, including social distancing, regular cleaning, and face masks are a part of each visit.
