La Roche University Invites Prospective Students to Spring Open House April 11

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 11, 2026 – La Roche University will host a Spring Open House for high school students, transfer students and their families from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in the Zappala Campus Center.

Open House features a flexible schedule, allowing students to choose sessions that match their interests. From 9 to 11:30 a.m., visitors can talk with faculty and explore more than 50 career-focused majors. The event also includes information sessions covering financial aid, the admissions process, merit scholarships and special academic programs.

Students are encouraged to bring their high school transcripts and SAT/ACT scores to receive an instant admissions decision, scholarship information and a gift before leaving campus. Students without SAT/ACT scores may bring their transcript and will be considered for test-optional admission.

Transfer students who bring a copy of their college transcript will receive a credit evaluation, an admissions decision and information about transfer scholarships.

During the event, guests can meet current students, tour La Roche’s residential campus and get an inside look at the University’s residence halls. Light morning refreshments and a complimentary brunch in Cantellops Dining Hall will also be provided.

All first-time visitors who tour campus will receive a renewable $1,000 Visit Grant, which will be applied to their La Roche tuition for up to four years (students must enroll full-time beginning in Fall 2026 or Fall 2027 to be eligible).

“Choosing a college is a major decision, and visiting campus is one of the best ways for students to determine if it’s the right fit,” said Executive Director for Enrollment Hope Schiffgens. “Our Spring Open House gives prospective students and their families the opportunity to explore our programs, connect with our community and learn how La Roche supports students academically, professionally and personally. It’s also a great opportunity for students who may still be finalizing their college plans to discover that there’s still time to move forward with confidence.”

To attend, register online.
