1. Why do we prefer that parents not attend?  

ACU Bound is designed to be a unique time for you to meet and bond with other potential ACU students, and to get a feel for what college is “really like” at ACU. We love our parents and know choosing a college is many times a family decision; however, due to limited space, we prefer that families send their student only, so that we may accommodate as many future Wildcats as possible in this experience.

If your parents want to accompany you to our campus, please check out other visit days at acu.edu/visit.
