There are two types of campus previews: traditional and non-tradition- al. According to McKean, campus previews for traditional students are held four times a year. Students are given a chance to attend classes in session and to talk to professors, said McKean. Workshops on scholarships and financial aid are available to students during the preview. This is important, especially to parents, said McKean. Campus previews start at 8 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. with an option to stay for dinner at the Shaw Center Cafeteria. Previews for non-tradition- al students are organizedby Brad Ericson, associate director of admissions. According to Ericson, approximately 30 to 40 percent of students have attended a campus preview. To accommodate students, the campus preview is held at night and is a two hour event, said Ericson. The format is different with the understanding thatnon-traditionstudents have different needs, said Ericson. ' Ageneral session gives information on financial aid and prior learning assessment.
