Choosing a college that’s the right "fit" for you is a big decision. One of the best ways to truly know what a college has to offer is to visit the campus and take a good look around. Here are some ways to do just that:
Campus Visits. Campus visit dates include programs offered, an overview of the admissions and financial aid process, and a general tour of Parkland. Please call 217/351-2509 to make a reservation. Tours are from 10-11 am on the following dates:
Friday, September 24, 2010
Monday, October 11, 2010

Campus Tours. Join us for an individual campus tour. Meet with an admissions advisor to discuss your major and then tour the campus. Campus Tours are available Monday through Friday during the academic year from 8 to 4 pm. by appointment only. Call 217/351-2482 to set up an appointment with an advisor.
