Individual Campus Daily Visits

The Office of Admissions offers UpClose Information Sessions on a reservation only basis. The UpClose session begins with a 45 minute information session including a question and answer period conducted by an Admissions representative and held in the Visitor Center auditorium. Immediately following the presentation is a 90 minute walking tour of campus led by a Maryland Images student. For reservations visit http://www.uga.umd.edu/visit or call 800.422.5867.
