Tour Leaving Jackson HallThe Office of Undergraduate Admissions welcomes prospective students and their families for campus tours and class visits.

Campus Tours and Information Sessions

We offer one-hour student-led walking tours each weekday year-round, with the exception of a few University holidays. Following each tour, an admissions director leads a one-hour information session. Tours leave from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions located at Jackson Hall, which is located on Country Club Road. To make a reservation for a tour or an information session, visit your UNC homepage.

Schedule a campus tour on your UNC homepage

During your one-hour walking tour, a current student will lead you through campus, discussing student and academic life as well our rich 200-year history. Because of time constraints, our student-led tour does not include a residence hall or the southern end of campus, where many of the residential and student service buildings are located. We encourage you to allow time during your visit to tour South Campus on your own, and experience its vibrant residential atmosphere. Self-guided tour maps are available in Jackson Hall. These maps provide information about visiting a model room in Craige Residence Hall and also include a coupon for free lunch for prospective students at the award-winning Rams Head Dining Hall [offer is available 11:30am to 2:00pm; please note that Rams Head is only open during the school year].
