We're thrilled you want to visit Duke! 

Advance registration is required to reserve a place. Please register as early as possible if you plan to visit during early to mid-spring or midsummer which serve as our peak visitor seasons. Sessions will fill quickly during student breaks. Upon registration, detailed confirmation emails will follow to the registrant and designated family member.

Dates: Please select a date (in green) to sign up for an information session and (when available) tour.  Upon doing so, scroll to the bottom to select your session time. If all sessions and tours are full during the days you will be on campus, you may place yourself on a waiting list upon arrival to campus. When our sessions are full, or if you visit when campus is closed, you are welcome to take a self-guided tour. Paper copies of our tour booklet are available in our mailbox at 2138 Campus Drive. 

Duration: Please allow 2.5 hours for your visit. Information sessions are led by an admissions officer and last 45 minutes. Walking tours of Duke's West Campus are 90 minutes. We encourage visitors to arrive 30 minutes in advance of your session. 

Tour: Duke's campus is large and you should expect to do a lot of walking. Thus, we recommend comfortable shoes. Our campus tour enters academic buildings and student spaces, but we are unable to enter a residence hall on the campus tour out of respect for the privacy and safety of our students. View photos of Duke student rooms on East Campus.

Groups: For groups larger than ten, please read our group tour policy. 

Graduate students: For information, please contact The Graduate School. Our sessions are intended for high school students and their families.

Special Accommodations: Duke University encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its
programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions
about the physical access provided, please contact our office at (919) 684-3214 in advance of your
visit. For more information, please visit Disability Management System.
