The class visit program is designed to supplement our campus tours and information sessions. By sitting in on a real William & Mary class, students can experience first hand why William & Mary consistently ranks among the nation's top universities in commitment to undergraduate teaching. Due to the small nature of so many of our classes, visit opportunities are limited and only classes with available seats will appear on the registration page.

There are several, pre-approved class sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the fall semester.
