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 for prospective students — 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
