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. The Monday through Friday tours include an introductory presentation given by an recruitment liaison. Your tour guide is a third or fourth year UVic student with experience and knowledge about our campus. You'll meet us in the UVic Welcome Centre on the main floor of the University Centre, unless otherwise instructed. The closest parking is available directly under the University Centre or 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.
