How to Visit Facility
Visits go a lot smoother when you plan around the facility's hard rules. Two policies matter most: you can only take one visiting time slot per visiting day, and video visits cannot be recorded or shared.
How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at USCF depends on the day, so confirm the visit type before you sign up. Video visits run Monday through Thursday, while in-person visits are held Friday through Sunday. You're limited to one sign-up per visiting day. Multiple sign-ups for the same day will be denied. Recording or photographing any portion of a video visit is strictly prohibited and can lead to suspension of visiting privileges. To get approved, complete the required visitor application and consent forms, then mail or deliver them to the visiting office PO Box address listed for USCF or CUCF (follow the instructions on the application). Plan ahead: visits are typically scheduled in advance, and you'll need to follow identification and dress rules and wait for confirmation.
