    Visit

    While there is nothing like being on campus, we have introduced many opportunities for you to experience our beautiful campus, gain a greater understanding of our dynamic community and connect with us online.

    Holy Cross has suspended all campus visits indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will update our website as soon as campus visit opportunities become available again.

    Questions? We’re Here for You!

    We know that the college search process can be frustrating — and current circumstances make it even more challenging. Lack of face-to-face communication doesn’t mean you need to go it alone. Admissions representatives are available to answer any questions you have — don't hesitate to reach out.
