Campus Tours and Admissions Presentations

No reservations are required for campus tours and admissions presentations, unless you are bringing a group of 10 or more. (For groups of 10 or more, please register online.)

Campus Tours

Walk with a current student or UCSB alumnus on a 75-90 minute campus tour. Stops include our largest lecture hall, the library, and the University Center.

Tours run Monday through Friday (except major holidays) noon and 2 p.m. starting at the Visitor Center. Campus tours are offered on Saturdays in the months of October and April at 11 a.m. and noon. If you would like to visit on another Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, you may take a Self-Guided Tour Map and tour the campus on your own (available online at www.admissions.ucsb.edu/PublicationsAndVideos.asp and in print outside of the Visitor Center).
