Pre-Quest Info

Would you like to stay on campus before your summer Radford campus Quest 2024 session?  We can do that!

We care about our Highlander family.  That's why there is no additional charge for incoming students or family members to stay the night with us for Pre-Quest or to attend Quest.

If you would like to stay the night on campus before your Quest session (this is optional), please be sure to register for our Pre-Quest overnight accommodations.  This can be done through your online Quest reservation.  To access your Quest reservation, please log into your Highlander Portal, and then click on the Quest link.

  • You'll find student Pre-Quest overnight accommodations under the Event Information section.
  • You'll find family member Pre-Quest overnight accommodations under the Family Information section.

In order to best prepare for your arrival, we require that both students and family members register for Pre-Quest overnight accommodations through the Highlander Portal at least five (5) days prior to your stay.
