According to the NCAA, an official visit is when a prospective student-athlete visits a college campus paid for by the school. This includes travel/transportation to and from the school, room, meals, and entertainment expenses (three admissions to a home game). However, the school is not allowed to pay for your parents' visit too. All expenses are for the student-athlete. Prospective student-athletes are only allowed to take five official visits total to different colleges.
Official visits occur during a student-athlete's senior year. If a coach hasn't offered you an official visit, it doesn't mean that they aren't interested, but you should always discuss this with the coach before you take a trip on your own there. Some schools don't have large enough recruiting budgets to host many prospective athletes.
