VISIT ACU CAMPUSES

Parents, family, and other associates of current ACU Study Abroad students are welcome to visit our program facilities and enjoy the opportunity to see where our students live and study abroad.  While planning your visit, we encourage you to visit other sections of our website covering local churches, a range of local accommodations, cultural and historical sites, local day trips, and restaurant recommendations. Addition navigation information detailing the journey from key airports to the program’s main house are listed at the bottom.

Visitation Policies and Protocols

  • Visitors may be welcomed by a student to visit our campuses during visitation hours (10 a.m. to 8 p.m.) seven days a week.

  • Guests must immediately be introduced to the local program faculty-in-residence, program director, assistant director, or RA.

  • Guests may only visit public areas. They are never permitted to go onto any floors above the ground floor without explicit prior approval from the program director.

  • Guests are not allowed to stay in the facility overnight.

  • All visitors must depart ACU facilities by 10:00 PM.

Visitation Periods

Please remember our students are balancing a full-time, strenuous academic schedule while traveling the world, and we encourage visitors to plan their visit during a time that will not place undue stress on students.  We highly discourage visits during the following times:

  • Orientation (first week of each semester)

  • Midterm Exams (check with your student for their exact schedule)

  • Final Exams (last two weeks of each semester)

  • Packing day / Final Banquet

For questions regarding our visitation policy or planning the ideal time to visit someone in our program, please contact your students’ local program director.


We’d like to make the process of flying out to visit as logistically simple as possible. Navigation information detailing different routes to take from close airports to the program’s main house are listed below in formatted lists. Additional inferences tag on to each route, providing important nuance that we’ve empirically found to be useful.
