• Group visits are only available to High Schools, Community Based Organizations, and Educational Non-Profits working with current high school students. 
• All group visits must include the supervision of an adult chaperone/teacher at all times. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful manner and not demonstrate disruptive behavior during the presentation. 
• Requests for group tours are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and may be restricted during peak visitation seasons. 
• During the 2024-2025 academic year, Group Tours are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only. Available tour times are 10:00 a.m. and 12 Noon. We do not offer visits on the weekend or on University/Federal Holidays.

After we receive your request, we will confirm whether or not we are able to accommodate your request. Please note that we cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate all group requests. Your tour is not confirmed until you receive an email that includes the tour date, time, location, and directions. If confirmed, please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your confirmed event.

We do not offer meetings with admissions officers at this time. However, we invite you to register for our live virtual events, which include information sessions led by admissions officers, student chats, and more.

If you plan to visit campus on your own, download the Duke Admissions Tour app which is now available for IPHONE and ANDROID users. You may also stop by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to pick up a campus map from our outside information box. 

Duke University is not associated with any organizations that promote for-profit campus tours. All official Duke University campus tours are conducted free of charge. Furthermore, the services provided by the Admissions Ambassadors, such as the campus tours and Blue Devil Student Chats are provided free of charge. Duke University is not associated with any organizations that promote for-profit college search and recruitment, and students are not permitted to participate in the admissions ambassador program while working for these for-profit organizations.

We welcome those we would have previously organized a group visit to campus to sign up for our virtual programming. If you are a community-based organization or college access program with questions about separate programming, please reach out to UNDERGRAD-ADMISSIONS@DUKE.EDU.

Discover Duke events are typically 60-minute admissions information sessions, followed by time for questions. Duke admissions officers will provide an overview of the various academic and signature opportunities available to our undergraduates and will share information about our application and financial aid processes.

If you are unable to attend a Discover Duke program, you may also join us for Exploring College Options with Georgetown University, Harvard University, Stanford University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Representatives from each university will present information about their institution, discuss the application process, and answer questions on how to put together a strong and reflective application. Each program will end with breakout sessions where representatives will answer questions about their specific school and the application process. We are offering both in-person and virtual programs, with each program featuring the same content.

Admissions officers from Duke and other universities will host joint public information sessions, open to all prospective undergraduates and families interested in attending. Programs will include brief presentations about the institutions’ undergraduate programs and will provide an overview of admissions and financial aid policies and procedures. Admissions officers will be available to answer specific questions at the end of each program.

There are no events currently scheduled. Please check back soon for upcoming opportunities.
