Is there a cost to attend?
The Open House is FREE to all students and families*. We encourage elementary, middle school, high school and college transfer students to attend. This is an exciting chance for students and families to learn about the educational and extracurricular opportunities available to them at the University of Utah. (*If you have already been admitted to the University of Utah we strongly encourage you to attend Preview Day on Saturday, March 7, 2009 from 9:00am-12:00pm. Preview Day is designed specifically for admitted first-year students and their parents.  For additional information and to RSVP, visit the  Preview Day Web site.)

While there is not cost to attend, we do ask that you sign up so we know about how many people to expect each day.  To sign up for either day, please visit our online RSVP page.

Where do I need to go?
The Open House will be held at the University’s A. Ray Olpin Student Union (#1 on the campus map).  Directions to the Union are available if you are driving or using TRAX. We encourage you to park in the Visitor's Lot directly east of the Union or the lot to the north of the Alumni House. Validations will be provided for the Wednesday Open House.  All parking is FREE on Saturdays.

Please be aware that the Salt Lake City marathon is on the same day as the April 18th Open House and begins on the U’s campus. We have been informed that the marathon activities on campus will be done by the time the Open House begins. However, the marathon route does pass through parts of Salt Lake and you could encounter the runners as you drive to campus. Therefore, we are providing directions to campus that avoid the marathon route entirely.
