Visit Campus
The Office of Admissions offers year-round campus tours for future students, their families and supporters, school groups, and counselors. Tour content is designed for future first-year and transfer students interested in undergraduate study on the Greeley campus, however, all are welcome to attend.
UNC offers a wide range of in-person and virtual visit experiences—from campus tours and major events to online tours and sessions—so you can see campus in the way that works best for you.
Individual Daily Visit Options
In addition to Daily Information Sessions and Campus Tours held twice daily, Monday through Friday (with select Saturdays available), we also offer specialized sessions for transfer students, bilingual Spanish sessions and tours, and Be-A-Bear Fridays exclusively for admitted students.
We encourage all students and families to start by exploring custom campus visit options to make the most of your time on campus and in Greeley. Customizing your visit may include meeting with a faculty or staff member from a specific college or school, or exploring opportunities such as the UNC Honors Program.
We offer Admissions Information Sessions & Campus Tours twice daily (9:00 a.m. & 2:00 p.m.) and on select Saturdays (10:00 a.m.) throughout the calendar year. Daily information sessions & tours include a brief 30-minute University Overview & Admissions Presentation after which guests will head out on a 90-minute student-led tour of our beautiful campus. Attendees can expect to see a combination of academic halls, student life spaces, and residence/dining locations.
Explore custom visit options before you register and get a more in-depth look at academic programs while you connect with faculty and staff from across the UNC community.
We offer special afternoon sessions designed specifically for transfer students with tours led by current transfer students. Attendees will experience a 30-minute Admissions Presentation tailored to the transfer student journey (students who have enrolled in college after completing high school) followed by a 90-minute walking tour led by a current UNC transfer student. The tour will highlight academic spaces, student life areas, and key resources. An optional stop at a residence hall will also be available. If you are unable to attend a transfer information session, we recommend a daily information session as a quality alternative.
Transfer-specific information sessions are currently offered on most Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.. Starting in 2026, transfer sessions will be offered on most Thursdays in addition to select Mondays and Fridays.
UNC offers bilingual experiences to help you and your family feel at home.
- Take a Spanish Campus Tour that includes an Admissions Presentation and guided walk through campus.
- Attend the free ¡Adelante! UNC event offered twice yearly. The event content is delivered in Spanish and English, and offers a great opportunity to learn about admissions, explore financial aid, and often includes additional programming with campus partners.
- Meet bilingual staff and students at a Cafecito event for personal support from Admissions, the César Chávez Cultural Center, and the First Generation Near Peer Program.
Be-A-Bear Fridays are designed to provide admitted students a true taste of life as a UNC Bear! During this half-day visit, students will connect with an admission counselor to learn about their next steps, tour campus (including residence halls), enjoy a free lunch, experience a mock class led by a UNC faculty member, and leave with a special admitted student gift.
Registration is limited to approx. 15 students per session. Parents and guests are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
