The reason I chose Covenant over all the other schools I applied to is because of the student body and how much their faith informs all they do. As I sat in chapel for my sneakPEAK, I was able to tangibly experience the joy that was in the air. I would highly recommend visiting during SneakPEAK because not only will you get special opportunities meant just for you, but the Covenant students and faculty will be so excited to meet you and encourage you in your college search—wherever that leads you.

Overnight Program

As a Residential College, we care deeply about the formation that happens on our halls. Living in community is a big part of being a Scot. We welcome prospective students to experience this community through our Overnight Program.

How does it work?

After you register for an eligible event and select that you want to spend the night in the Residence Hall, our team will pair you with a current Covenant student who will host you overnight in their room.

In the week leading up to the event your student host will text you and introduce themselves. Please make sure we have your updated contact information on file!

Eligibility:

You must be at least 16 years of age
You must be registered for a multiday sneakPEAK, Scholarship Weekend or Admitted Students Day
You must agree to abide by Covenant College standards of student behavior

Key things to know before your overnight stay:

Depending on the size of your host’s room, there might be multiple prospective students staying in the same room
These are real student rooms and not a hotel so you will need to bring your own air mattress, bedding, towels & toiletries. Occasionally your student host will have an extra mattress or couch you can sleep on, but this is not a guarantee
Your host is a student first and will need to attend class, study, and fulfill other campus commitments so they won't be able to hang out with you the whole time you're on campus. Your time will mostly be filled by the Admissions event, but you may have some downtime on your own, which gives you the opportunity to meet other prospective students who are also visiting campus.

FAQs

Yes! When you fill out the registration form, you can provide the name of the current student you would like to host you. We will do our best to accommodate your host request, but cannot guarantee your request will be possible.

While you are not obligated to spend the night, we recommend an overnight stay to get the full experience of residential life and connect with current students, especially for high school seniors. If you don’t want to spend the night in a residence hall, you can still attend our multiday events. Please make sure to make arrangements for your lodging.
