Explore UVic
All of UVic. All in a day.
Explore UVic is our flagship in-person “open house” event for prospective undergraduate students and their families.
If you’re considering attending UVic for your undergraduate studies — or you’re helping someone who is — Explore UVic is the best way to experience the campus, meet the people, ask questions and get a personal sense of what student life is like. It’s a full-day event, but you can tailor how much you attend. Remember to register, plan your schedule and bring questions. We hope to see you there!
