    Panther Previews

    We invite you and your family to spend a morning on our campus in Orange, CA this summer and see what makes Chapman University feel like home.

    We have concluded our summer offerings for 2026. We will update this webpage for summer in March 2027. 

    8:30 - 9:00 AM: Check-in and Breakfast
    Arrive, check in, and enjoy a continental breakfast while getting oriented for the day.

    9:00 AM - 12:15 PM: Group Rotations
    Over the course of the morning you'll rotate through three experiences to learn more about Chapman and answer your biggest questions: 

    • Campus Tour led by current student guides - Explore Chapman's beautiful Orange campus and picture what it's like to be a student here.
    • Chapman Information Session - Hear stories from the Chapman community and learn what sets a Chapman education apart.
    • Preparing Your Best College Application - Gain practical tips and insider guidance to make your application shine.

    Whether you're just beginning your college search or narrowing down your list, a Panther Preview is a great first step. Bring your questions, bring your family, and let us show you around.
