The best way to see what our campus has to offer is to experience it for yourself by taking a campus tour.

Tours begin at 1 pm Monday through Saturday and are guided by upper-level UVic students. The Monday through Friday tours include an introductory presentation given by an recruitment officer. You'll meet us at the front steps of the UVic Bookstore, unless otherwise instructed. The closest parking is available in Lot 2.

You'll see our University Centre, McKinnon Gym, bookstore, bus exchange, Student Union Building (SUB), a room in residence, the library, classrooms, and experience the beautiful scenery our campus has to offer.

We'll come to you

Our team of Student Recruitment Officers will be traveling around North America and to various countries to meet with students, parents and counsellors who are interested in learning more about what UVic has to offer.
