High School juniors and seniors are unable to participate in the time-honored tradition of visiting colleges this fall in their search for the best fit to continue their education. The Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in most colleges and universities having to limit campus visits. North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities (NCICU), which represents the 36 private, non-profit colleges in North Carolina, will solve the problem by hosting a virtual College Fair during the week of October 19-23.
Prospective students can go to www.ncicu.org/ncicu-2020-college-fair/ anytime to view a video from each of the 36 colleges and universities. They can also register for sessions with Admissions counselors at the colleges of their choice. Those sessions will be held at the following assigned times during the week.
