Join us for a 75-minute walking tour of Central Campus, led by one of our current U-M student tour guides. The majority of this tour will take place outside, so we strongly encourage you to check the local weather forecast and dress appropriately.

All in-person visits are by appointment only. Due to strict tour capacities, registration is required and walk-ins cannot be accommodated. In the event of cancellations or if additional dates become available, the registration page will be updated to accurately reflect tour availability.

Information sessions — where you will receive an overview of U-M and the admissions process — will generally be held each day a tour is offered (except Saturdays). To attend an information session, you'll need to be registered for a campus tour and indicate your interest when you sign up. Attending an information session is not factored into our review process if you apply to U-M. If you're unable to attend an information session in person, you can view a recorded session online, which covers the same information.

Things to Know Before You Register

FAQs

What can we expect on the tour?

The tour will be led by current student tour guides and will last approximately 75 minutes. Guests must stay with their tour guide at all times and may only enter buildings included as a part of the tour route.

Will the tour include a residence hall or dining hall?

A model room located in a residence hall is included in our tour, although dining halls are not. Guests are welcome to purchase a meal in one of our dining halls outside of the tour.
