WELCOME!
Welcome to our website and thank you for your interest in visiting Northwest Vista College (NVC)! One of the best ways to learn more about us is to visit our phenomenal campus, so please take advantage of one of our campus tour opportunities. We look forward to meeting you soon!
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU VISIT
Our campus tours are approximately forty-five minutes to an hour in length and consist of a walk-through of our beautiful campus and various academic buildings, starting at the Cypress Campus Center (CCC). Tours are led by Welcome Center staff members (Professional or student staff) or Wildcat Tour Tracker volunteers (current NVC students). NVC tour guides will provide you with a candid view of campus, covering our history and student life, as well as program offerings and student services. Please note that formal presentations are not a part of these tours. Should you have specific questions about services or programs after your tour, your tour guide will happily connect you with the appropriate staff member who can assist you.
