CAMPUS VISITS & TOURS
new students at the U

We invite you and your family to experience the University of Utah in person. This is an excellent way to discover all the opportunities available to you and check the "fit" between you and the University. A personal visit gives you insight to the University by interacting with students, faculty, and staff, and allows you to check out our facilities first hand.

A typical campus visit includes:

  • An information session with an admissions counselor to discuss special academic opportunities, ways to get involved on campus, scholarships, financial aid, admission requirements, housing, Honor's Program, LEAP Program, Study Abroad, deadlines, and any other items of interest to you.
  • A campus tour with a current student to see where you might be taking classes and having fun. This is also a good time to find out what it's really like to be a student at the U.
  • A residence hall tour to explore where you can live, learn and enjoy campus life to the fullest.

If your time permits, you can also schedule:

  • meetings with an academic advisor to learn more about the major(s) you're interested in pursuing;
  • classroom visits to experience what a class at the U is really like; and
  • overnight visits through our U-Night Program to enjoy a more comprehensive University experience, and discover what it's like to live in the residence halls.

Campus Visit Agenda

You can schedule campus visits Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The usual agenda for a campus visit is shown below. Classroom visits and advisor meetings will be scheduled either before or after the information session, campus tour, and residence hall tour.

Schedule Your Campus Visit

To sign up for an individual or group campus visit, please call our campus visit coordinator at (801) 581-8761 or at (800) 685-8856.  If you're planning on visiting University of Utah's campus on the weekend, print out our self-guided

walking tour directions before you arrive.

Parking During Your Visit

Your visit will begin at the Office of Student Recruitment and High School Services, located on the west end, lower level of the Olpin Union Building (Room 80). You can park in visitor parking just east of the Olpin Union; validations, for your stay, will be provided at the end of your visit. Please do not park in any metered parking, since your visit will last longer than the metered time and it's likely you will be ticketed.

Staying Overnight?

If you plan to stay overnight in Salt Lake City, we recommend the University Guest House on the University of Utah's campus. The University Guest House offers wonderful accommodations at a reasonable price.  (If the Univeristy Guest House is full - call the Office of Student Recruitment for other recommendations.)  It's also minutes from the Office of Student Recruitment and High School Services, the TRAX line, and many campus activities.
