Important Announcement Regarding COVID-19:

Dear Students and Families,

Our office’s goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy! We’ve, unfortunately, cancelled all college close-up admissions visits through at least April 13, 2020 and all large-scale admissions events until May 31, 2020.

We know this is not a desirable situation for any student trying to gather information about our university or college, but we hope this website is a helpful way for you to get to know our UC and CEAS community.

We encourage you to browse around our alternative online content and sign-up for some of our webinars (they will soon be posted)– we always try to include current students whenever possible! We will be adding content over the next two weeks, so please keep checking back with us!

We are grateful for your patience during this time. If you have any questions, you can reach us via email (ceas.ug@uc.edu).

Sincerely, 

Your CEAS Recruitment Team
