Your University Tour can be taken anytime throughout the year as long as you are not in school, and as long as you’re back from your tour 30 days before your first practice date of your season. Check with BIP or your compliance advisor if you have any questions about these dates. Otherwise, the timing of your trip is entirely up to you. We suggest not only from our standpoint, but also from your program’s fundraising standpoint, that you contract BIP at least 3-6 months in advance of your desired trip to receive an early price quote. Securing BIP as your tour management company well in advance of the trip also locks in your preferred trip dates.
