For an informative and entertaining glance at the University of Georgia, look no further than the UGA Visitors Center! The Visitors Center conducts regularly scheduled campus tours seven days a week, with three tours Monday – Friday and two tours on Saturday. Tour participants board the Visitors Center mini-bus for a 75-minute combination
driving and walking tour of the campus. Our knowledgeable student staff lead prospective students and their families, alumni, and special groups through the campus, providing their insights and wisdom in relating the campus experience. The first and final 15 minutes of the tour are driving. The middle 45 minutes of the tour are dedicated to walking through historic North Campus and into the heart of campus.

Standby Policy
If the reservation system shows that tours are full on a day you wish to visit, do not worry. Our tour is a combination of driving and walking. Because of restrictions on the number of visitors we are allowed to place on our vehicle, we are limited in the number of reservations we can accept for the driving portion of the tour. Upon your arrival at the Visitors Center, ask to be placed on the standby list. Our standby policy is first-come, first-served. If visitors with reservations cancel, do not show, or bring less people than originally planned, we will start at the top of the standby list and add as many people to our vehicle as we can.
If we are unable to accommodate you on the driving portion of the tour on the day you wish to visit, we can guarantee that you will at least be able to participate in the 45-minute walking portion of the tour. Anyone is welcome to join our walking tour even if they do not have a reservation. Once at the Visitors Center, you will be provided with directions and parking information so that you may join us on North Campus for the walking portion of the tour! If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Self-Guided Tour
If you are unable to work a guided campus tour [pdf] into your schedule, please print our self-guided tour [pdf] and a campus map [pdf].

Schedule Your Visit
To arrange your campus visit, we suggest you and your family discuss how you'd like to spend your day, then give us a call any weekday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. or schedule
your visit online. If you schedule your visit online, make sure you bring along a copy of the confirmation form you will receive after you register online. If you would like to schedule an information session on the same day, make sure you indicate that when you register online. Please note that a campus tour reservation does not include an information session reservation and vice versa. Visitors must select each event when registering online.
Tour space is limited, so you'll want to have a few possible visit dates in mind before calling for reservations. If you are unable to book a reservation for a campus tour, please contact 706/542-0842 for information on
our standby policy.
Please make sure you are scheduled for only one tour. Cancel any tours you are not planning to attend. We appreciate all you can do to make sure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy our campus.
There's always something going on at UGA, so you might want to schedule your visit to coincide with a special event, a show or a game while you are here. Check the UGA
master calendar for a preview of events.
