Personal Tours & visit Days

How many people will be on the tour?

In order to practice social distancing, our maximum capacity for a campus tour is ten (10) persons.

Can I bring guests to accompany me on the tour?

Yes, each student registered for a regular in-person campus tour is permitted to bring up to two (2) guests. For private campus tours, the student is permitted to bring up to four (4) guests.

What is the check-in process?

Check-in will begin ten (10) minutes before your scheduled tour time. If you arrive early, please wait in your car in Visitor Parking. As you enter the Brown Building, the Admissions staff will greet you at the Check-in Station in the lobby and take your temperature. Please do not walk around outdoors to elevate your temperature prior to check-in, so that the Admissions staff can get an accurate reading. From there you will be guided to the Tour Room where you and your guest(s) will have a designated seating area spaced six (6) feet from any other guests on the tour.

Are face masks required?

Yes, all guests are required to wear face masks when visiting campus and for the duration of the campus tour. Masks must be worn correctly, covering the mouth and nose. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you by the Admissions Office. If you elect to not wear a mask, you will be unable to join the campus tour group.

Is this a walking tour?

Yes, our campus tours are traditionally walking tours. For the comfort of our guests, frequent breaks during the tour and bottled water will be available. No golf cart tours will be offered at this time to ensure proper social distancing.

Can I schedule an appointment with an academic department or other office?

Due to altered office schedules and COVID-19 protocol, we are unable to schedule appointments with other departments at this time, but we are happy to answer any questions we can and provide you with the department’s contact information.

Will the tour route show inside residence halls/dorms?

Residence halls are closed to campus visitors at this time. The tour route will show the exteriors of a variety of residence halls. You may schedule a virtual housing tour and view 360 videos of residence hall rooms by visiting the Residence Life website.
