DOTL 2011
It might seem a little early to be talking about our admitted student days, Days on the Lawn (DOTL), but there have been some requests for the dates.
At DOTL, undecided students and their parents get to tour Grounds, attend info sessions about each school, visit a resource fair, and tour the residence halls. Admitted students also get to sit in on classes and have lunch with current students while their parents are at a few sessions.
Days on the Lawn are a great way to figure out if UVa is the right place for you if you haven't gotten "that feeling" yet.
Registration for those admitted during Early Action is open (and you must register to attend). There is an attendance cap for each date, so please have a back up date in mind in case your first choice is full. If your schedule doesn't allow you to attend any of these or the one that works for you is full, you can schedule an overnight visit on a better date and attend classes, too.
2012 Days on the Lawn:
Monday, March 19th
Monday, April 2nd
Monday, April 9th
Saturday, April 14th
Monday, April 16th
and
Friday, April 20th
If someone in your party has a disability that requires an accommodation, please call us at (434) 982-3200 as soon as you make your travel plans. We want to arrange a comfortable experience for your family.
There is information about lodging on the main UVa website, but I'm happy to chat about the options and answer any questions you have about travel logistics. There are number of hotels within walking distance of Grounds or on the bus/trolley route. If you will be driving to Grounds, please be sure to read about the parking options. We rent out one garage so there is plenty of free parking available, but that comes with a 5 minute walk to the Lawn.
By the way, don't be afraid to come up and say hello at DOTL! I'll be on the other end of CavDog's leash.
CavDog takes his DOTL duties very seriously
Juniors and sophomores, if you are planning to visit us in March or April, please do not visit us on Days on the Lawn days. The Grounds are packed full of visitors and parking is very, very difficult as a result.
Oh wait! One more thing. People often ask us how they are supposed to dress for DOTL. Dress as if you're going to be walking around Grounds all day. Remember that we're not interviewing you, you're interviewing us. We'll dress up. You be comfortable.
