Make sure to re-visit your second home! Our gates are open for alums to tour the campus and relive moments with staff and current students. For any questions, please email alumnicoordinator@uwccostarica.org.
Disclaimers
UWC Costa Rica reserves the right to refuse admission to campus to any alumni whose behavior—during or after UWC Costa Rica—causes a safety or safeguarding concern for our Management Team or whose visit threatens discomfort for any current students or educators on campus.
Due to our Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy, all campus visitors must be accompanied by an educator at all times during their visit. Surprise visits or those coordinated on short notice will depend on staff availability. Campus visits typically last 1 to 1.5 hours.

Host AlumNights Session!
AlumNights is a student-led initiative that invites alums from the UWC Global Alum Network to connect and share peer-to-peer knowledge, experiences, and stories in an engaging setting.
These sessions are about meaningful conversations, building connections, and inspiring each other. If you are visiting our campus, don't miss the opportunity to work on your #UWCPledge by hosting a session!
Important Information & Dates
- All visits must be coordinated at least two weeks in advance, with prior notice if any family or friends will join the visit.
- UWC Costa Rica is not able to accommodate overnight campus visits.
- Alums will be restricted to only one 1-hour campus visit, pending staff and the College calendar availability, at the following times of the year to protect our students’ study and community-building time:
- Orientation — 3 weeks in August.
- Semesters 1 and 3 exams — 2 weeks in November.
- IB Exams— April 27 to May 21.
- Graduation Celebrations — May 21 and May 22.
- Student departure days — May 22 to May 23 (no visits will be approved on these days).
- Suppose you have planned your visit during one of these times. In that case, we encourage you to take advantage of the gastronomic and entertainment opportunities in Santa Ana to reconnect with educators and students off-campus.
